TALK’s “Lord of the Flies & Birds & Bees” tour (named after his recent debut album) came to Terminal West in Atlanta on March 3rd!
He brought the album to life with leaves hung up on stage and on the microphone stands and he walked on stage in the costume from the album cover. The show kicked off energetic with the opening song on the album, “Fall For You”. Guitarist, Connor Riddell, was overjoyed that I was singing along in the photo pit! It’s always a blast to see an artist you love and it makes it even sweeter when they notice how happy you are to be there.
The show continued on with other songs from the album, “Aliens” and “A Little Bit Happy”, and eventually got to a point where TALK asked for cover requests from the crowd. He did some Fleetwood Mac and tried “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers but he didn’t know more than five words so he made his own. It was still a fun little intermission!
In the encore, the band’s song “Run Away To Mars”, that blew up on Tik Tok was played and that got everyone roaring! The set ended with a cover of “Through the Fire and the Flames” and a Guitar Hero guitar to top it all off.
It was a very exciting night that really brought the album to life and included classic TALK moments- croc kicks, incredible vocals, and legendary guitar solos. Atlanta cannot wait to rock with TALK again!
