Eagle and Talon have been confusing people since their formation in mid-2003. Described as the founders of “leotard rock”, Eagle and Talon splice angular guitars and intricate rhythms with scraps of musical theater, forging a sound that makes you wonder whether you¹re being pet by a kitten or mauled by a lynx.
Kim Talon (guitar/words) started composing music to help temper the arctic conditions of her hometown, Winnipeg, Manitoba. At 18, she moved to New York City in search of warmer climates and a possible career in tap dancing. Meanwhile, Alice Talon (drums/casio) was busy abandoning a career in classical piano to search for her ancestors. When school let out, she left Cleveland for Taiwan, where she spent her afternoons drumming in the damp basements of Taipei.
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.”
