Biography

Tom Tom Club is the funky, melting-pot side project of Talking Heads members Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz. The husband-and-wife duo formed the group in 1981 to further indulge their diverse musical interests. With a definite focus on grooves, the group mixed together everything from disco and hip-hop to Afro-beat and Latin music and managed several hits, including the heavenly dance smash "Genius of Love." The group continued to tour and record, although sporadically, into the 2000s.
