Spotlight On:

Talking Heads
Welcome, all, to a new weekly segment I'm doing in order to motivate me to make new posts every once in awhile. Every Wednesday, I'll be letting you know about an artist or group I happen to like. I've decided to start with one of the most creative bands I know of, Talking Heads.
Talking Heads was formed in New York in the mid-70s by front man David Byrne, drummer Chris Frantz, bassist Tina Weymouth, and guitarist and keyboardist Jerry Harrison. They combined elements of punk, pop, funk, art, and world music. Their first album, "Talking Heads: 77" was released, obviously, in 1977. Despite poor sales, it gave the band the jump start they needed. The group went on to make 7 more studio albums before breaking up in 1991. Chances of a reunion are slim, seeing as David Byrne and the rest of the band are at opposing ends with each other. (Information taken from Wikipedia and the Brain of Austin.)
And now, for some videos of the group in action.
