The Tom Tom Club is back - remember them? They were a new wave band from the early '80s - a side project from husband and wife team Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz - both now in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame because they were also in Talking Heads. Anyway, the new one is "Downtown Rockers," a five-song EP just out on Nacional Records. Obviously these two know what they're doing, they've got that sly, soulful groove wired - the title tune will live in your head like a Disney theme song and "Won't Give You Up" is even better, in addition to the fact that it resonates with our natural stubbornness. Great driving music or make-out music. Tom might be Sir Thomas now.
