Talking Heads



Memories of Birriga Road Bellevue Hill came flooding back

Early Live Performance by Talking Heads (1976)


In March 1976, Talking Heads played a show at The Kitchen in NYC; you can watch the entire show recorded from two angles in this video. The band had formed the year before and was more than a year away from recording and releasing their debut album.

It’s a great insight as to what these early Talking Heads shows were like, and with it also being in color, being good quality, and having two angles for most of the show, this is a must-watch.

The band played for about 90 minutes (2 sets plus an encore), working through tracks like Psycho Killer, Thank You For Sending Me An Angel, and Love → Building On Fire. (via open culture)

Nearly a decade since his death, the blind musical maestro from remote Elcho Island in the Northern Territory is set to be posthumously inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame on June 11.

Gurrumul, Jenny Morris, Kate Ceberano, Spiderbait, The Living End, and Vika and Linda Bull were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Sydney.

Thursday night's honours included a posthumous gong for Indigenous icon Gurrumul, who died in 2017.

Ceberano, whose career has stretched more than 40 years, said it was "phenomenal to link arms" with some of Australia's finest performers.
