Between the Teeth

About This Movie

So, 'Between the Teeth' is this intriguing little documentary from '93 that captures a moment when David Byrne, the former Talking Heads frontman, takes the stage with 10 Car Pile-Up. It’s set in the Count Basie Theatre, which has this cool, vintage vibe that matches the era. The performance itself is both energetic and intimate, layering music with a kind of rawness. The pacing has a nice ebb and flow—like it’s letting you soak in the atmosphere while still keeping you engaged. The whole thing feels very unpolished, not in a bad way but in a way that feels real. You get glimpses into Byrne's artistry that are pretty distinctive, and it all just sits together as a snapshot of a specific time and place in music history.
