Den nye forestillingen som The Residents skal turnere med I 2010 heter "The Talking Light". Følgende forklarende tekst til hva publikum kan se frem til er sendt ut fra bandets hovedkvarter:

"What are ghosts?" ask The Residents - spirits of those no longer inhabiting the flesh, but unable to leave their lives behind? Or could ghosts be a manifestation of something even less tangible, like loneliness, unfulfilled desire or isolation?

In a world where nearly everything has become defined and categorized, how do we fill our obvious, purely human need for the fuzzy , vague and supernatural - with TV commercials?

The ghost of a morbidly obese woman haunts her lesbian lover, filling the void of death with food commercials and Dr. Phil. A man becomes obsessed by the spirit of an executed serial killer who stuffed the mouths of his victims with Puddling Roll Ups, an extinct kid's food from the 1980's. A dead boa constrictor named Leonard (after Leonard Cohen, of course) plagues the mind of its former owner, currently consuming Oscar Meyer hot dogs by the dozen.

These are just a few of the "ghost stories" told by The Residents through the magic of The Talking Light. After all, even in death, will you ever forget that COCA COLA ADDS LIFE?

Billettsalget starter i dag.

The Residents kommer også tilbake til Oslo, der de spiller på Sentrum scene dagen etter.
