Talking Heads

Drummer Chris Frantz claims he had to drag frontman back onstage after he walked off during 1984 show in New Zealand.

It was no accident the band and director Jonathan Demme found each other.

We look at how many ways Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" has been interpreted over the years.

Few bands were as innovative, restless and influential as Talking Heads.

As the saying goes, artists have their entire life to make a debut album. The next one? Not so much.

After taking a brief hiatus to focus on separate projects, they regrouped with a newly reaffirmed sense of purpose.

It seems unlikely that we'll ever get new music from Talking Heads, but there are still unexplored corners of the band's legacy -- like 'Theme,' an instrumental track from their early years that's currently making the rounds online.

This October will see the premiere of 'CBGB," a movie about the legendary Manhattan club that witnessed the birth of punk. Yesterday (Aug. 2), the contents of the soundtrack were released, and it contains some of that scene's most familiar names.

After two albums of stripped-down Americana, the band once again expanded its scope – then promptly fell apart.

Some musicians who have been in the business for over 30 years aren’t very comfortable talking about their past and prefer to only look forward. Chris Frantz, drummer for Talking Heads, is not one of them. In a recent interview to promote a new DVD, ‘Chronology,’ Frantz talked about his band’s early days at CBGB.
