Eagle and Talon have been confusing people since their formation in mid-2003. Splicing angular guitars and intricate rhythms with scraps of musical theater, Kim and Alice Talon forge a sound that makes you wonder whether you're being pet by a kitten or mauled by a lynx.
In 2004, the duo made their debut at a converted bowling alley in Los Angeles, inaugurating a string of performances in LA and New York City. With a battalion of guitars, encrypted tunings, furious drums and dueling casios, Eagle and Talon shows have evolved into raw and unpredictable affairs. Songs ruminate on anything that moves, from frostbite to skeletons to the afterlife. Kim Talon asks: "Microphone? Are you the reincarnate of Jesus in my hand?" Pointed social commentaries are sewn into verses like: "They hide the bird feed/They hide the bird that breaks/We keep our windows closed/We leave the vacuum on."
In 2006, the duo self-released their debut EP Eagle and Talon Cares and toured nationally with Sia - playing such historic venues as the Troubadour, Bimbo's and the Bowery Ballroom. They are currently in the studio finishing their first full-length album to be released nationally in 2008.
