Talking Heads: Rock Band in New York

About Talking Heads

Talking Heads emerged from New York City’s downtown scene in the mid-1970s, with David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison shaping a band language that drew on punk abrasion, art-school structure, funk rhythm, and global pop forms. Their work has remained a reference point for generations of rock and pop performers. In New York, their catalog returns to the stage at Brooklyn Bowl through The Rock and Roll Playhouse’s family-oriented program, “The Rock and Roll Playhouse Plays: Music of Talking Heads + More.” The songs favor precision and nervous energy over grandeur.
