When Talking Heads released a restored and remixed version of their classic 1984 concert film “Stop Making Sense” for its 40th anniversary, guitarist-keyboardist Jerry Harrison says it confirmed something that the influential art rock band had been sensing for a while .

“We have a sort of resurgent younger audience right now,” says Harrison, who will present the film for a special screening at the Alex Theater in Glendale on Wednesday, Oct. 8. “I actually think it’s larger than it was 10 years ago, interestingly, or 15 years ago.”

Singer David Byrne saw the likely reason, says Harrison, who with Talking Heads ‘ Byrne , drummer Chris Frantz and bassist Tina Weymouth, premiered the film at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2023.
