While David Byrne is off making music with St. Vincent, former Talking Heads Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth are putting out some new music of their own. Tom Tom Club (forever famous for Genius of Love) just released Downtown Rockers their first album in more than a decade. The title video was directed by Jim Swaffield (who directed R Kelly’s Trapped In The Closet) and features cameos from Debbie Harry and Richard Hell as well as some classic footage from the 70’s New York scene (I spotted David Byrne at 3:33).
