A Night of ‘Stop Making Sense’

Talking Heads’ 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense is a flat-out musical and cinematic masterpiece, and last year’s 4K restoration dusted off the rock-doc for a whole new generation. Now, ahead of A24’s Blu-ray release of the film, you can catch a screening of it on June 4 at Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre—where it was originally shot over four nights—with a Q&A led by Fred Armisen (who’s no stranger to the film) with the members of Talking Heads. David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison were all in attendance at a screening at Vidiots last year, and like that event, we wouldn’t expect the more or less broken up band to perform. But you will see Blondshell tackling “Thank You for Sending Me an Angel,” from the forthcoming Everyone’s Getting Involved tribute album.
