  • The Three Rivers Arts Festival is Pittsburgh's largest summertime festival and... What, you say you smell another Susan D. concert review? Your olfactory senses are quite correct my Yelp music friends! If you're like me you basically know the Tom Tom Club on the strength of their biggest (only) hit single, "Genius of Love". You're also aware that the two main members of this group, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth are husband and wife and they were key members of Talking Heads. In my case, my initial exposure to Tom Tom Club and Talking Heads came from the movie "Stop Making Sense". (Tom Tom Club would take the stage in order to allow David Byrne to do a costume change). I remember watching it with my brother and my dad and in fact Tina Weymouth was my inspiration. I looked at her play that bass and I thought "Hey, I could do that!" I've still got that beat-up, dog-eared ol' VHS copy and yes it still plays well. They waited until the middle of their set to play "Genius of Love", instead jamming on some of their more obscure material. No matter, the audience appeared to be enjoying it. I know Lisa and I were. Of course when they did play "Genius" (which they dedicated to Andy Warhol), EVERYBODY got up and danced, inlcuding me and Lisa. Oh and they gave us a few funky cover tunes too including "You Sexy Thing" (gotta dance to that one too), the Al Green version of "Take Me to the River", and "Psycho Killer"! Tom Tom Club always has been a funk/groove band and that they honed their chops well in Talking Heads really served them well. I've got to admit that Tina Weymouth still looks great at age 60(?) and Chris Frantz always looked like a friendly Irish cop. But it's so refreshing to see a band like this that at least acts like they want to be here instead of those who are still slogging along (ahem, Beach Boys--what's left of them) or those doing it strictly for the money even though they despise one another (double ahem, The Police).
