Next Monday there will be a screening of a new Talking Heads
DVD, Chronology, at the
Fairfield Theatre Company (70 Sandford Street, Fairfield right by the train
station). Doors open at 7 pm with a cash
bar, with the movie beginning at 8 pm.
At $20 a ticket, it’s a worthy fundraiser for WPKN, the Fairfield County
npr station.
Chronology follows
the band from it’s beginning days at CBGB to their final tour in 1983
supporting their Speaking in Tongues album
(back in the days of vinyl!) Their stop
in Forest Hills is definitely on my top ten list for all time greatest live
concerts. The tour was also documented
in Jonathan Demme’s feature film, Stop Making
Sense.
A brief Q&A with band members Chris Frantz and Tina
Weymouth will follow the event. The
couple live in Fairfield and are active in both the Fairfield Theatre Company
and WPKN, where Frantz has a radio show on the last Friday of the month from 1 –
4 pm. For more information, visit fairfieldtheatre.org.
