"''The Talking Heads showed up and played at CB's and brought a lot of media attention with them. Then shortly after that I think it was Television's manager, [[Terry Ork]], who helped initiate this monthlong unsigned -bands summer festival, and the floodgates opened.

Talking Heads first began performing at CBGB's in 1975. The members initially looked a bit out of place next to many of the scene's punk regulars.
