Tina Weymouth is the founding member and bass player of New Wave band Talking Heads and side project, one hit wonder Tom Tom Club. Together with Talking Heads she was a pioneer in the new genre New Wave during the late '70s and the ‘80s. They have been a huge influence for other musicians and their hits (such as Burning Down the House, This Must Be the Place and Warning Sign, to take a few examples) have been covered by artists such as Arcade Fire, Tom Jones and the Cardigans, MGMT, Local Natives, Peter Gabriel, Dave Matthews and The Gossip. But enough about the band and back to Tina Weymouth. Why is she cool? Besides being a part of a band that made way for a new generation of musicians and music listeners, she’s just naturally cool. Skipping around, dancing with her bass she looks really cool. You could teleport her from that stage directly in to today and she would be just as cool.
