11:05 Marty Duda's Artist of the Week: Television
Influential early-1970s New York City punks, ahead of their first-ever New Zealand show on Thursday.
Television was one of the first bands to emerge from the New York City punk scene that formed around infamous venue CBGBs in The Bowery…along with Patti Smith, The Ramones and Blondie. The band was lead by Tom Verlaine and initially featured Richard Hell on bass, who went on to form his own band, The Voidoids.
Television sounded like no other band at the time, thanks to the intricate guitar interplay of Verlaine and fellow guitarist Richard Lloyd. The 1977 debut album, Marquee Moon is still considered one of the best debut albums ever. Although Television only record two albums before breaking up in 1978, they became hugely influential. The band reunited in 1992 and released one more album before falling apart again. Television perform for the first time in New Zealand this Thursday, with guitarist Jimmy Rip taking Lloyd’s place in the band.
