Talking Heads Night

0 upcoming performances in New York

Talking Heads Night brings the band’s art-rock and pop catalog into a live setting at Xanadu, with Start Making Sense leading the performance. The show treats the material as a living repertoire rather than a museum piece, tracking how jittery grooves and clipped lyrics still map modern city life. Talking Heads’ New York roots run deep, from their CBGB-era emergence to their role in widening what downtown rock could hold. One clear takeaway is how well the songs’ rhythmic precision survives outside the original lineup.
