Crosseyed & Painless: A Tribute to the Talking Heads

Crosseyed & Painless came through a year ago and whipped the place into a frenzy with their ferocious take on the Talking Heads catalog. We’re ready for another sexy dance party!

Spearheaded by the funky, jazzy, buttery stylings of Chris Zanardi (Five-Eyed Hand, High Beamz) on guitar, Crosseyed & Painless will tap in to the deep well of funk, groove and electrifying rock that defines the essence of the Talking Heads. Jefferson Bergey (Freestone Peaches) puts the vocals at the forefront with his dazzling pipes, along with some tasty guitar licks. Jordan Feinstein (The Ritual, Jay Lane, Stu Allen) always turns the fun-factor up to 11. Fulfilling the “keyboard wizard” definition to the nth degree, his iconic top hat will be bobbing and weaving as he unfurls torrents of funky, organ-swirling fury on these timeless songs. Bernie Worrell would approve!

You know how essential the rhythm section is to capture the richly layered, hypnotic effect of the Talking Heads. Behold the interwoven alchemy of percussionist Brian Rogers (Izabella), Angeline Saris (Ernest Ranglin, Zepparella) on bass and Alex Bowman (Chum) on drums. This feels like a powder keg ready to explode as this super group channels their fresh take on some of the greatest songs ever written.
