If ya gotta have a gimmick, the Talking Dreads have a heck of a one. Inspired by his stint as lead vocalist for the Tom Tom Club, the infectiously rhythm dance side project of bassist Tina Weymouth and keyboard player Chris Frantz of the Talking Heads, Jamaica native Mystic Bowie formed the Talking Dreads.
In it he merges his background in reggae with the Talking Heads’ unforgettable repertoire. he gives tunes like “psycho Killer” and “This Must Be the Place” his own distinctive Carribean style.
He’ll be bringing the band to the Kent Stage for a little end-of-summer party. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 day of show.
