…one of those bands you love to hate but secretly like !
I don’t know of anyone who loves to hate Talking Heads. There are some who are possibly indifferent, but hate them?
Remarkable band, all very talented musicians, with one of the best rhythm sections in rock, and a superbly charismatic front man.
Only ever saw them once, on their first tour promoting their first album ‘77. They played Swindon Oasis, with Dire Straits as support!
Saw David Byrne several years ago at the London Roundhouse with St Vincent, which was just outstanding, one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever seen, and only Byrne could have pulled it off, I’m convinced of that; all of the musicians on stage were choreographed and moving around the stage, with no amplifiers or anything visible, even Byrne was moving with everyone else, except when he was singing.
