Talking Heads tribute by indie-rock project Speaking In Tongues, led by Alex Profera, playing hits from 'Stop Making Sense', 'Fear of Music' and 'Remain in Light'.
Speaking In Tongues bring their Talking Heads tribute to The Drill on Saturday 27 February, with doors opening at 19:00. It's a night built around the Talking Heads' peak, and the set pulls from the concert film Stop Making Sense as well as the albums Fear of Music and Remain in Light.
Behind the tribute is Alex Profera, who describes Speaking In Tongues as a DIY indie-rock project. It started in his hometown of Staten Island, New York, back in 2007, and he spent time refining it on the Purchase College and Westchester music scene, playing alongside university and local musicians. His sophomore EP, Antarctican Apathy, followed The Pharaoh's Dance and melds indie and prog rock into a style he describes as entirely self-created.
For this show, however, the focus is on the Talking Heads. Profera has brought in some of Bristol's finest funk players to recreate the band at their height, letting them refresh the classics with their own licks and lean into the driving rhythms and funky grooves that defined the group's sound. The set draws from Stop Making Sense and the albums Fear of Music and Remain in Light, so you'll hear the material from the concert film alongside the records.
