"[ Remain in Love ] has great storytelling and amazing detail about adventures that Chris and I have shared in our parallel universes. As the Brits say: I'm gobsmacked. I devoured this book and all the memories and all the love Chris has for Tina . . . . One of the most potent examples of living the dream." --Debbie Harry, musician and author of Face It "This swift-paced, well-written book has the upbeat tone of dreams coming true. Frantz conveys the excitement of his adventures from boyhood to art school to international rock-stardom with honesty and enthusiasm . . . . I dare any drummer to write a better book!" --Duncan Hannah, author of Twentieth Century Boy "Heads and drums and funk and roll: herewith Chris Frantz outs himself as a Writing Head and Raconteur First Class, bringing it on an engaging narrative which combines an enchanting love story with an eye-opening disquisition on the upsides and downsides of being in bands with unusual people." --Charles Shaar Murray, author of Crosstown Traffic: Jimi Hendrix and Post-War Pop "Crackling with verve, comedy, calamity, crisp detail, forward motion, and abiding affection, speckled with an all-star cast of punk legends and pop idols, Chris Frantz's Remain in Love is a rock music memoir like none other--a candy kiss with a kick to it." --James Wolcott, author of Lucking Out, "[ Remain in Love ] has great storytelling and amazing detail about adventures that Chris and I have shared in our parallel universes.

And since then I've been biding my time, waiting for the right moment to make my move. But after reading Remain in Love by Chris Frantz, it's become pretty clear to me that she's already in a relationship (see pages 1, 3-7, 9, etc.), and what's more, it looks to be serious (pages 18, 20-26, and especially 114). But you know something? That's OK. I'm happy for Tina, and for Chris, a great drummer who has written a great book." --Bill Murray "A music memoir that is as much about love as music.

Synopsis
The inside story of Talking Heads by their drummer and co-founder. At its core is Frantz's romance with bassist Tina Weymouth, with whom he not only formed a life but a second band, Tom Tom Club. One of the most iconic bands of the '70s and '80s, Talking Heads distinguished themselves from the ultra-cool Rolling Stones, the chaotic Sex Pistols, and glam rockers like David Bowie. They burst onto the scene when Frantz's girlfriend Tina Weymouth taught herself to play bass and joined him and lead singer David Byrne, playing at CBGBs and touring Europe with the Ramones. Their hits from "Psycho Killer" to "Burning Down the House" to "Wild, Wild Life" captured the post-baby boom generation's intense, affectless style. Their Jonathan Demme-directed concert film Stop Making Sense remains a classic. Frantz's and Weymouth's creativity surged with Tom Tom Club, bringing an Afro-Caribbean beat to their fresh hits like "Genius of Love." Remain in Love is studded with memorable names from the era: Grace Jones, Andy Warhol, Stephen Sprouse, Lou Reed, John Cale, Richard Hell, Twyla Tharp, Brian Eno, Debbie Harry, and many more. Beautifully written with immersive vivid detail, the book moves from the rooms where the songs were made--including Providence, RI and the Chrystie Street loft Frantz, Weymouth, and Byrne shared--to the meals eaten and the clothes worn, right to the dynamics of a long and complicated working relationship with a mercurial frontman. With the sense of place and time that characterized Patti Smith's book Just Kids , Remain in Love is as frank and open as autobiographies from rockers Neil Young and Keith Richards., Two iconic bands. An 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.
