The Tom Tom Club's Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, who made their name as the rhythm section in Talking Heads, will celebrate the holidays by releasing a limited edition 7" vinyl and 4-track CD single titled Misteltunes. The disc's opening track, "Christmas in the Club," is described as "a dance floor stomper with vocoder and sleigh bells alternating between Chris' and Tina's vocals." In addition to Frantz and Weymouth, the song will feature Jamaican singer Mystic Bowie and turntablist Kid Ginseng. The disc's second selection is the traditional "Il Est Ne'" ("He is Born") sung in French by Weymouth. According to a statement from the couple, Tom Tom Club "chose to press the songs back-to-back on a funky-looking piece of vinyl" due to the current popularity of '80s vinyl. The 4-track CD single includes extended and instrumental versions of "Christmas in the Club." In 2003, Tom Tom Club released its latest album, Live @ The Clubhouse. 

Misteltunes will be released on November 15 on La La Land Records, run by the Tom Tom Club's former merchandising crew. The set will be available exclusively for pre-order at www.tomtomclub.net .  It will also be made available at select independent record stores.
