Talking Heads

For other uses, see Talking Heads (disambiguation).

Talking Heads was an American rock band formed in
1975 in New York City and active until 1991.[1] The
band comprised David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris
Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar). Former art school students who
became involved in the 1970s New York punk scene,
Talking Heads integrated elements of punk, art rock,
funk, and dance music with avant-garde sensibilities to
become a pioneering post-punk and new wave group.
Fronted by the anxious stage persona of frontman Byrne,
the group produced several commercial hits and a number of multimedia projects throughout its career, and often collaborated with other artists, such as musician Brian
Eno and director Jonathan Demme.[2][3]
Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described Talking
Heads as one of the most critically acclaimed bands of
the '80s.[4] In 2002, the band was inducted into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of the bands albums appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums
of All Time, and three of their songs ("Psycho Killer",
"Life During Wartime", and "Once in a Lifetime") were
included among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fames 500
Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.[5] Talking Heads were
also included at #64 on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest
Artists of All Time.[6]

19741977: Early years

Later that year, the trio recorded a series of demos for

CBS, but the band was not signed to the label. They
quickly drew a following and were signed to Sire Records
in 1977. The group released their rst single in February
that year, "Love Building on Fire". In March 1977,
they added Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals), formerly of Jonathan Richman's band The Modern
Lovers.[11]

David Byrne, Chris Frantz, and Tina Weymouth were

alumni of the Rhode Island School of Design in
Providence, Rhode Island. There, Byrne and Frantz
formed a band called The Artistics in 1974.[7] Weymouth was Frantzs girlfriend and often provided transportation for the band. The Artistics dissolved within a
year, and the three moved to New York, eventually sharing a communal loft.[8] Unable to nd a bass player in
New York City, Frantz encouraged Weymouth to learn
to play bass by listening to Suzi Quatro albums.[9] They
played their rst gig as Talking Heads opening for the
Ramones at CBGB on June 20, 1975.[1]

Their rst album was released soon afterwards, Talking

Heads: 77, which did not contain the earlier single.
The album received considerable acclaim and spawned
what became the groups rst charted single, "Psycho
Killer".[12] The song was released to the radio just months
after the serial killer known as the Son of Sam had
In a later interview, Weymouth recalled how the group been terrorizing New York City, prompting many to aschose the name Talking Heads: A friend had found the sume some eerie connection. However, it was later rename in the TV Guide, which explained the term used vealed that Byrne had written the song nearly four years

earlier.[13]

19781980: Collaborations with Eno

1978s More Songs About Buildings and Food brought

about the bands long-term collaboration with producer
Brian Eno, who had previously worked with Roxy Music, David Bowie, John Cale and Robert Fripp;[14] the title of Enos 1977 song Kings Lead Hat is an anagram
of the bands name. Enos unusual style meshed well
with the groups artistic sensibilities, and they began to
explore an increasingly diverse range of musical directions, from post-punk to new wave to psychedelic funk
to funk rock.[15][16][17] This recording also established the
bands long term recording studio relationship with the famous Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas. More
Songs... cover of Al Green's "Take Me to the River"

and gave the band their rst Billboard Top 30 hit. [15]

HISTORY

August,[24] and later in their concert lm Stop Making

Sense. During this period, Tina Weymouth and Chris
Frantz also formed a commercially successful splinter
group, Tom Tom Club, inuenced by the foundational
elements of Hip hop,[25] and Harrison released his rst
solo album, The Red and the Black.[26] Likewise, Byrne
in collaboration with Eno released My Life in the Bush
of Ghosts, which incorporated world music and found
sounds as well as including a number of other prominent international and post-punk musicians.[27] All were
released by Sire.
Remain in Light's lead single, "Once in a Lifetime", became a Top 20 hit in the UK but initially failed to make
an impression upon its release in the bands own country.
But it grew into a popular standard over the next few years
on the strength of its music video, which was named one
of Time magazines All-TIME Best Music Videos.[29][30]

1.3 19811991: Height of commercial success and break-up

After releasing four albums in barely four years, the group
went into hiatus and nearly three years passed before their
next release, although Frantz and Weymouth continued to
record with the Tom Tom Club. In the meantime, Talking
Heads released a live album, The Name of This Band Is
Talking Heads, toured the United States and Europe as
an eight-piece group, and parted ways with Eno,[31] who
went on to produce albums with U2.[14]

1983 saw the release of Speaking in Tongues, a commercial breakthrough that produced the bands only American Top 10 hit, "Burning Down the House".[32] Once

1980s Remain in Light was heavily inuenced by the
afrobeat of Nigerian bandleader Fela Kuti, to whose
music Eno had introduced the band. It explored West
African polyrhythms, weaving these together with Arabic music from North Africa, disco funk, and found
voices.[22] These combinations foreshadowed Byrnes
later interest in world music.[23] In order to perform these
more complex arrangements, the band toured with an

pop-rock sound as opposed to previous eorts.[39] Similar in genre, True Stories hatched one of the groups most
successful hits, "Wild Wild Life", and the accordiondriven track Radio Head which became the etymon of
the band of the same name.[40] Naked explored politics,
sex, and death, and showed heavy African inuence with

polyrhythmic styles like those seen on Remain in Light.[41]

During that time, the group was falling increasingly under
David Byrnes control and, after Naked, the band went on
hiatus.[4]

After the bands break-up, Frantz, Harrison, and Weymouth released an album as The Heads and Frantz and Weymouth have
continued in Tom Tom Club. The trio are pictured here at SXSW

The album was accompanied by a tour which featured
Johnette Napolitano as the vocalist. Byrne took legal action against the rest of the band to prevent them using the
name Talking Heads, something he saw as a pretty obvious attempt to cash in on the Talking Heads name.[45]
They opted to record and tour as The Heads. Likewise,
Byrne continues his solo career.

Inuence

One of the most celebrated bands of the 1970s and

1980s,[4] Talking Heads art pop innovations have had
a long-lasting impact.[54] Along with other early 1980s
anti-corporate and experimental groups such as Devo,
The Ramones and Blondie, they helped dene the new
wave genre in the United States.[55] Meanwhile, the more
worldly popularities like 1980s Remain in Light helped
bring African rock to the western world.[56]

many artists, including R.E.M.,[57] Vampire Weekend,[58] Primus,[59] Bell X1,[60] The Ting Tings,[61] Nelly
Furtado[62] and Radiohead, who took their name from
