“Start Making Sense: Presents: ‘77-’79”
Start Making Sense Presents: 77-79 strips things back to the core: Jon Braun, Brian Davis, Jesse Braun and Jenny Founds of Start Making Sense, performing songs from the band’s first three records as a four-piece, capturing the spirit of the early lineup of David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. No big suit, no big band, just the fantastic catalogue of those formative albums. If you love the early years and the deep cuts, this one’s for you."
