Tom Tom Club Live at the Beachcomber
Event: 8010
Tom Tom Club and its eponymous first album in 1981 were created by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. Graduates from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD, pronounced Riz-dee) in 1974, they moved to New York City where they founded Talking Heads as a trio with David Byrne in 1975. In 1977, they were joined by ex-Modern Lover Jerry Harrison. After five years of touring and four albums written and recorded with Talking Heads, Chris and Tina were signed in 1981 to Island Records by music industry legend Chris Blackwell, one of the first people to fully appreciate the value of a great rhythm section in and of itself.
