I ka makahiki 1974, neʻe ʻekolu mau hoa papa i New York a hoʻolaha iā lākou iho ʻo Talking Heads. ʻO ka inoa o ka hui, e like me ka mea mua, ua hoʻoikaika ʻia e kahi hoʻolaha kiʻiʻoniʻoni sci-fi ma ka makasina TV Guide. ʻO kā lākou hoʻomaka ma Iune 20, 1975 ma CBGB ma Bowery. Ua hoʻohana ka ʻekolu i ka manaʻo hoʻohenehene o nā kiʻi a me nā palapala o kēia wā e hoʻokahuli i ka pōhaku. A laila hoʻopiha ʻia kā lākou mele i nā mele hula.

Ua wikiwiki loa ka holomua no nā kāne. Ua huakaʻi lākou i ʻEulopa me nā Ramones a kau inoa pū me ka inoa kūʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa o New York ʻo Sire ʻelua makahiki ma hope. I Pepeluali 1977 ua hoʻokuʻu lākou i kā lākou mele mua, "Love" a me "Building On Fire". Ua lilo ʻo Talking Heads i kekahi o nā mākaʻikaʻi noʻonoʻo a akamai loa o ka nalu mele New Wave o nā makahiki 70.
Ua hana ʻo Byrne, Frantz, Weymouth a me ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Harvard ʻo Jerry Harrison i kahi hui mele ʻokoʻa. Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia i nā mele punk, rock, pop a me nā mele honua i nā mele maʻalahi a nani. Ma ke kahua, kahi i ho'āʻo ai ka poʻe i koe e noʻonoʻo i kahi ʻano ʻāhiu a me ka huhū, hana lākou i loko o kahi lole maʻamau.
I ka makahiki 1977 ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kā lākou album mua "Talking Heads 77", i loaʻa nā mele kaulana "Psycho Killer", "Byrnem".

He moʻolelo lewa kēia e kupaianaha, ola maoli a loaʻa nā mele ikaika. Loaʻa pū kekahi i kēia lā kahiko, "Once in a Lifetime".
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kēia album, ua hele ʻo Talking Heads i kahi huakaʻi honua me kahi laina i hoʻonui ʻia. ʻO Bernie Worrell (Parliament-Funkadelic), mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Adrian Belew (Zappa/Bowie), bassist Busta Cherry Jones, percussionist Steven Scales, a me nā mele ʻeleʻele ʻo Nona Hendryx lāua ʻo Dollette McDonald i hoʻohui ʻia.
Ola kaawale o na lala
Ua ukali ʻia e kahi manawa i ʻike ai nā lālā o Talking Heads i kā lākou mau papahana solo. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Byrne e hoʻokolohua me nā mea uila, hana a me nā mele mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua. Ua kākau maikaʻi ʻo ia i nā mele no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a no ka hale keaka. Hāʻawi ʻia ʻo ia no kāna mau haʻawina i ke kani o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Bernarda Bertolucciho «The Last Emperor (1987).
Ua hoʻopaʻa hou ʻo Harrison i kāna album ponoʻī «ʻO ka ʻulaʻula a me ka ʻeleʻele". Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Frantz lāua ʻo Weymouth e hana me kā lākou hui ponoʻī ma "Tom Tom Club". ʻO ka disco nui "Genius of Love" i hoʻohuli i kā lākou album holoʻokoʻa i platinum.

Ua piʻi kēia album i ka helu ʻekahi ma waena o nā moʻolelo TH a pau. A ʻo ka mea hoʻokahi "Burning Down the House", i loaʻa ka helu kiʻekiʻe o nā helu, i hoʻolaha ʻia ma MTV.

Nā Poʻo Kūkākūkā o ka lā
I ka makahiki aʻe, ua hoʻi hou ʻo Talking Heads i kā lākou mau ʻāpana ʻehā a me nā ʻano mele maʻalahi. Ma 1985 ua hoʻokuʻu lākou i ka album "Little Creatures" a ma 1988 "Naked", i hana ʻia ma Paris e Steven Lillywhitem (Simple Minds et al.). Hoʻokomo ʻia nā hana hoʻokipa a nā mea mele ʻApelika a me Karipiano e noho ana ma Farani.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 90, aia nā lono e pili ana i ka haki ʻana o Talking Heads. Ua haʻi ʻo David Byrne i ka Los Angeles Times i Dekemaba 1991 e pau ana ka hui. I Ianuali 1992, ua hoʻopuka nā lālā ʻekolu o ka hui i kahi ʻōlelo e hōʻike ana i ko lākou hōʻeha ʻana i ka hoʻolaha a Byrne. ʻO nā album hope ʻehā, i hoʻopaʻa pū ʻia a laila hou, ua hoʻohui ʻia i ka pahu CD retrospective "Nā punahele".
Ua ulu aʻe nā Talking Heads mai nā mea hoʻokani pila a hiki i nā mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa hou i ka leʻaleʻa, disco a me ka afrobeat i ka New Wave epics o nā makahiki 80. ʻO ko lākou hiki ke hoʻoulu i nā mana he nui ma waho o ka repertoire punk haiki i lilo lākou i hoʻokahi o nā pūʻulu ola maikaʻi loa o nā makahiki he ʻumi. A ʻo Frantz lāua ʻo Weymouth kekahi o nā ʻāpana mele ʻoi loa o ka pōhaku hou.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kā lākou ʻoihana, ua piha ʻo Talking Heads i ka ikehu makaʻu, nā manaʻo kaʻawale a me ka minimalism understated. I ko lākou hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kā lākou album hope he 12 mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻopaʻa ka hui i nā mea āpau mai ka funk art a hiki i ka polyrhythmic world exploration a hiki i ka pop melodic guitar pop.
Ma waena o kā lākou album mua i ka makahiki 1977 a me kā lākou hope loa i ka makahiki 1988, ua lilo lākou i hoʻokahi o nā pūʻulu koʻikoʻi loa o nā makahiki 80. Ua hiki i nā kāne ke hana i kekahi mau mele pop. ʻO kekahi o kā lākou mele ke ʻano hoʻokolohua, akamai a noʻonoʻo. Akā i kekahi hihia, ʻo Talking Heads e hōʻike i nā mea maikaʻi a pau e pili ana i ka punk.
