Talking Heads

Radio Pete, Rocky Mountain Musical Express, January 1978

TALKING HEADS are a quartet; David Byrne guitar and vocals, Martina Weymouth bass, Chris Frantz drums, and Jerry Harrison on keyboards and guitar. They play precise, sprightly pop music. Their sound at times borders on the intellectual whimpiness of Simon and Garfunkle, and in the next instant recalls nothing you have heard before.
