Tom Tom Club 

Tom Tom Club began life as a side project for Talking Heads members Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth to keep themselves busy while David Byrne gallivanted about as early-80s postmodern renaissance man.

They adopted a light, tropical dance style that won them a gold album with Tom Tom Club in 1981 and a Top 40 US single with Genius Of Love. They also notched up a Top 10 UK hit with the Dr Seuss bubblefunk of the single Wordy Rappinghood.

They continued to make albums under this moniker between Talking Heads productions. Other Tom Tom Club albums were Close To The Bone (1983) and Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom (1989). They even toured as Tom Tom Club in the northern summer of 1989.

When Talking Heads broke up in 1991, Tom Tom Club became Frantz and Weymouth's main outlet. They released Sneak Love Action in 1992.
