Talking Heads
Talking Heads were an American rock band from New York City, best known for their art-school sensibility and innovative blend of punk, new wave, funk, and world music. With iconic songs like “Psycho Killer,” “Once in a Lifetime,” and “Burning Down the House,” they combined cerebral lyrics, David Byrne’s idiosyncratic vocals, and inventive rhythms to create a sound both quirky and intellectually engaging. Fearlessly experimental and visually striking, Talking Heads redefined what a rock band could be, leaving a lasting influence on alternative and art-rock music.
David Byrne of Talking Heads by photographer David Corio, The Roundhouse, London, January 29th, 1978. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Photographers notes: The former 19th-century steam engine repair shed was a circular venue that had been previously known for hosting acts like Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd with psychedelic light shows in the 1960s and it still had an alternative hippy feel even when punk was in full force. The Roundhouse had unusual line-ups and this show featured Dire Straits opening the bill followed by Slaughter & The Dogs and Talking Heads headlining.
Talking Heads’ debut album ‘Talking Heads 77’ was one of the early new wave albums that was quite different and more sophisticated than most of the punk music coming out at the time. This would later be labelled post-punk. Their first single ‘Psycho Killer’ was a hit and featured Tina Weymouth’s distinctive heavy bass line and David Byrne’s jagged guitar sound.
