Stop Making Sense LIVE
On 19th October 1984, Talking Heads and Jonathan Demme released the greatest concert movie of all time.
And now over 40 years later 10-piece band Slippery People have come together to recreate ‘Stop Making Sense’ live on-stage.
Forming in 2025 the band have since toured the UK playing multiple sell out shows to a rapturous response.
The band play all of the Talking Heads songs featured in the film. From ‘Psycho Killer’ to ‘Burning Down The House’ to ‘Once In A Lifetime’ and everything in between.
They have a tape they’d like to play for you. And everyone is getting involved.
