Poster This – Talking Heads TINA And CHRIS

Posted on by JL

The former Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club‘s rhythm section,
Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz are married for 46 years now.
A rarity in rock.

Three years ago the pair published a book, titled Remain In Love. In the book Frantz writes about the beginnings of Talking Heads‘s days as art students in Providence, moving to the sparse Chrystie Street loft Frantz, Weymouth, and Byrne shared where the music that defined an era was written. With never-before-seen photos and immersive vivid detail, Frantz describes life on tour, down to the meals eaten and the clothes worn―and reveals the mechanics of a long and complicated working relationship with a mercurial frontman.

Now Tina and Frantz will have a conversation about
it all with fans in the UK for 2 nights (US dates TBA).

This is the poster/artwork for the 2 evenings.

Two Talking Heads Will Have A Talk In The UK Next Year (“Suck A Dick”, Bob Dylan)

Posted on by JL

Former drummer Chris Frantz and bass player (his wife) Tina Weymouth
just announced three live conversations in the UK next year.

Frantz reacted very annoyed versus Bob Dylan last weekend who writes in his upcoming book that Elvis Costello & The Attractions was so much better than his peers back in the 70s.

Frantz addressed Dylan: “I understand you dig Elvis Costello, but did you have to put it that way? There were so many good bands then, and I spent many nights at CBGB and saw a lot of superior performances. How can you make such a sweeping generalisation? I think it’s a very good book – despite that one chapter. With all due respect to the Attractions and to drummer Pete Thomas in particular, I’d like to say to Bob something he once said to a buddy of mine.‘Suck a dick.’”
