# Event Details - **Event Name**: Crosseyed & Painless: A Tribute to the Talking Heads - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 19 Dec, 2025 at 09:00 pm – Sat, 20 Dec, 2025 at 12:30 am - **Event Description**: Crosseyed & Painless taps into the full range of the Talking Heads experience, presenting all the hits and deep cuts in the freshest fashionAbout this EventEven though most of the music of the Talking Heads was created over 40 years ago, it is anything but nostalgic. It still feels so ahead of its time, as if it was created by aliens who briefly graced us with their presence on this planet. Despite the band’s immense popularity, the music still has an underground feel, transporting listeners back to grimy dancefloor of CBGB in the late 70s. Lots of bands cover the Talking Heads, but few can truly the capture the complete experience of what it felt like to be immersed in the sexy, groove-laden journey of an entire show. Enter Crosseyed & Painless….On the previous two occasions this band has visited the Crazy Horse, they have whipped the place into a frenzy with their ferocious take on the Talking Heads extensive catalog. They play all the hits, the best songs from Stop Making Sense (their seductive take on “Slippery People” might find you resisting the urge to take your clothes off) and the deep cuts (Have you heard any other bands cover “Sugar on My Tongue?”). They transmit the essence of the sound, but they do it in their own creative way; weaponizing their off-the-charts musicianship and charismatic flair.Spearheaded by the jazzy, buttery, razor-sharp guitar stylings of Chris Zanardi (Five-Eyed Hand, High Beamz) and ultra-funky, organ-swirling, top-hatted ringmaster, Jordan Feinstein (Stu Allen, Jay Lane), Crosseyed & Painless taps into an oceanic well of funk, groove, world beat and electrifying rock that defines the essence of the Talking Heads.Naturally any Talking Heads tribute band is only as good as its David Byrne and there are few more dazzling than Jefferson Bergey (Freestone Peaches). Sure, he’s got knockout pipes and tasty guitar licks in spades. But it’s the charismatic x-factor and overall stage presence which takes the vibe to 11. Wait until you see him do “Genius of Love.”You know how quintessential the rhythm section is to unlock the richly layered, hypnotic effect of the Talking Heads. Behold the interwoven alchemy of this three-headed juggernaut, starting with percussionist and human embodiment of infectious positivity, Brian Rogers (Izabella). When it comes to bass, you can’t do any better than Angeline Saris (Ernest Ranglin, Zepparella). She takes the Tina Weymouth influence and elevates it several notches with complex precision and relentless elasticity. Sealing the deal is the propulsive force of 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. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/nevada-city/crosseyed-and-painless-a-tribute-to-the-talking-heads/100001968010452240 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 23.11, max: 23.11, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Nevada City - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Crazy Horse Saloon and Grill - **lat**: 39.2632438 - **long**: -121.0178759 - **full address**: Crazy Horse Saloon and Grill, 230 Commercial St., Nevada City, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Crosseyed & Painless: A Tribute to the Talking Heads - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/8aa655f526e0f74a7acf4245e74b48bc1951962f9100d3bec1d8f0faa6d262a9-rimg-w1200-h676-dc030303-gmir.jpg?v=1762883671 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Crosseyed & Painless: A Tribute to the Talking Heads being held? - **A:** Crosseyed & Painless: A Tribute to the Talking Heads takes place on Fri, 19 Dec, 2025 at 09:00 pm to Sat, 20 Dec, 2025 at 12:30 am at Crazy Horse Saloon and Grill, 230 Commercial St., Nevada City, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Crosseyed & Painless: A Tribute to the Talking Heads? - **A:** Tickets for Crosseyed & Painless: A Tribute to the Talking Heads are priced at USD 23 per person.

Housed in one of the oldest structures in Nevada City, circa 1862, this is more than a bar, restaurant or live music venue we're talking about. This is the embodiment of living, breathing legend. While we embrace nostalgia, making new memories is of greater interest. The Crazy Horse is synonymous with exceptional live music. Dance floor epiphanies are a regular occurrence." } ] } ] ```
