Talking Heads| US New Wave rock group formed in 1975 in New York; disbanded in 1991. Their nervy minimalist music was inspired by African rhythms and funk and was a precursor to world music.

| The band comprised David Byrne (1952– ) on vocals and guitar, Chris Frantz (1951– ) on drums, Jerry Harrison (1949– ) on keyboards and guitar, and Tina Weymouth (1950– ) on bass. The band members also recorded separately. Byrne has composed avant-garde and ballet music and has also toured with a Latin-American band. Weymouth and Frantz had hits as the Tom Tom Club. Talking Heads also released two films, Stop Making Sense (1983) and True Stories (1986). |
