Bands may come and go, but reverence for Talking Heads hangs in there like a hair in a biscuit. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers formed in the mid 1970's and went on to influence numerous other bands, including Vampire Weekend and Radiohead. Close your eyes and imagine the big suit. Expect an exploration into the far reaches of funk. Pennsylvania septet Start Making Sense will transport you to CBGB or the 1983 tour stop at the Rochester War Memorial Auditorium. HnFO — a Hall and Oates tribute group — opens the show.

Start Making Sense performs on Friday, November 28, at Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut Street. 9 p.m. $15-$18. themontagemusichall.com; startmakingsenseband.com.
