Our event with Chris Frantz, originally scheduled for May 21 has been postponed and the release date for Remain in Love has been pushed back to July 21.

We have been in contact with the team at St. Martin’s Press (publishers of Remain in Love) about rescheduling an event with Chris Frantz for August or later and when we get the new date scheduled we will make the event live once again. All tickets purchased for the event will be honored at the future event.

Thank you for your understanding and we very much look forward to seeing you later this summer at what is sure to be a memorable event with Chris Frantz!

ABOUT CHRIS FRANTZ AND REMAIN IN LOVE:

Two iconic bands. One unforgettable life.

One of the most dynamic groups of the ‘70s and ‘80s, Talking Heads, founded by drummer Chris Frantz, his girlfriend Tina Weymouth, and lead singer David Byrne, burst onto the music scene, playing at CBGBs, touring Europe with the Ramones, and creating hits like “Psycho Killer” and “Burning Down the House” that captured the post-baby boom generation’s intense, affectless style.

In Remain in Love, Frantz writes about the beginnings of Talking Heads―their days as art students in Providence, moving to the sparse Chrystie Street loft Frantz, Weymouth, and Byrne shared where the music that defined an era was written. With never-before-seen photos and immersive vivid detail, Frantz describes life on tour, down to the meals eaten and the clothes worn―and reveals the mechanics of a long and complicated working relationship with a mercurial frontman.

At the heart of Remain in Love is Frantz’s love for Weymouth: their once-in-a-lifetime connection as lovers, musicians, and bandmates, and how their creativity surged with the creation of their own band Tom Tom Club, bringing a fresh Afro-Caribbean beat to hits like “Genius of Love.”

Studded with memorable places and names from the era―Grace Jones, Andy Warhol, Stephen Sprouse, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, and Debbie Harry among them―Remain in Love is a frank and open memoir of an emblematic life in music and in love.
