Steve on David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's Here Lies Love comp.
Steve is featured on David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's Here Lies Love compilation along with Allison Moorer, Tori Amos, St. Vincent and many other notable artists. From the introduction by David Byrne: "The story I am interested in is about asking what drives a powerful person - what makes them tick? How do they make and then remake themselves? I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if - as this piece would be principally composed of clubby dance music - one could experience it in a club setting? Could one bring a 'story' and a kind of theater to the disco? Was that possible? If so, wouldn't that be amazing!" You can find the album on Amazon and iTunes.
