After what felt like eternity, Start Making Sense: A Talking Heads Tribute<\/a>\u00a0made their return to the Capital Region on Thursday, February 7th<\/sup>. The Bayou Caf\u00e9 <\/a>in Albany welcomed the musicians with open arms and fully packed the dance floor. Start Making Sense recreates the music of Talking Heads known for their funky and punk New Wave 80\u2019s dance parties.<\/p>\n

The night opened up with \u201cThank You for Sending Me An Angel\u201d, lots of whoops and hollers as the drums start to rally the crowd. One of the many things I love about the Talking Heads music is the constant roller coaster volume of the lyrics. Start Making Sense<\/a> is always a loud show, with every word being screamed at the top of everyone\u2019s lungs such as \u201cPulled Up\u201d and \u201cSlippery People.\u201d At one moment, you are yelling and stomping, giving way to your rebellious urges. The next you are gently grooving to \u201cAnd She Was\u201d and being swayed by \u201cAir.\u201d<\/p>\n

Start Making Sense performs the vast music styling\u2019s of the Talking Heads with skilled ease and pure appreciation.\u00a0 Lead man Jon Braun recreating David Byrne is spot on, including his clothes, crazy facial expressions and legendary vocals. Braun and the band have great flow with their dance moves, always a crowd pleaser. Before set break, Braun announced how \u201cThankful and happy the band was to be back in Upstate New York\u201d and listed a few of their upcoming shows.<\/p>\n

The crowd does its best to keep up with Start Making Sense\u2019s nonstop fireball energy being hurled throughout the second set. It\u2019s a treat to watch the musicians laughing to each other and having just as much fun as we are. I personally enjoyed the second set better because I knew more of the songs. \u201cNothing but Flowers\u201d followed by \u201cCities\u201d was the best way to resume the dance party. \u201cBurning Down the House\u201d was electrifying. The show ended with wild keyboard ranges from \u201cGirlfriend Is Better\u201d into a mellow yet enthusiastic \u201cCrosseyed and Painless.\u201d Start Making Sense will lightly tour around the east coast, making stops in Maine, Vermont and Delaware, before returning to their home state of Pennsylvania. As the lights came on and the band started to pack up, my friends and I already were planning our next show to see them.<\/p>\n
