Listen in as the "Upper Room with Joe Kelley" and WVOF 88.5 FM in Fairfield, CT welcome the Tom Tom Club to the studios. Led by Rock and Roll Hall of Famers (Talking Heads) Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, the Tom Tom Club is currently on tour in support of their standout new release, "Downtown Rockers".

The live interview can be heard this Monday Nov. 19th from 6pm-8pm NYC Time on WVOF 88.5 FM or at www.wvof.org .

Downtown Rockers' features Tom Tom Club's characteristic upbeat fusion of electro and funk. Chris Frantz explains, "We recorded the basic tracks soon after Tom Tom Club toured with the Psychedelic Furs in October of 2011 at our home studio. These tracks were built from improvised jam sessions with Bruce Martin on keyboards and Pablo Martin on guitar, Tina Weymouth on bass and Chris Frantz on drums. This is the same way we began "Remain In Light" with Talking Heads. This time our only instruction to the other players was to keep the parts simple with lots of space like Booker T. and the MGs would do."

The lead single "Downtown Rockers" pays tribute to the many bands that created the downtown music scene in New York City in the 70's from The Velvet Underground to the Talking Heads. The song was mixed by Ed Stasium, who also recorded and mixed Talking Heads '77 and umpteen Ramones classics. Arthur Baker, who has worked with Tom Tom Club in the 80s, also produced a dance remix of "Downtown Rockers".
