Television
Four decades after their formation in New York City, Television are coming to Australia for the first time ever.
Overview
Four decades after their formation in New York City, Television are coming to Australia for the first time ever. These days, however, their interviewers aren't permitted to ask about punk or CBGB. "Music, art, literature and culture" are the preferred topics. In a recent interview with FasterLouder's Dan Stewart, Tom Verlaine said that he's developed a thing for Chinese film, but can't find anyone in China willing to fly him over for a gig.
Their interview content might have changed, but Television are still playing the music that made them famous. That includes their debut, the classic Marquee Moon. NME included it on their list of the '60 Most Important Albums of NME's Lifetime', saying with lavish praise, "It would not be an overstatement to say that Marquee Moon is to the '70s what The Velvet Underground & Nico was to the '60s."
Television will play at All Tomorrow's Parties' Release the Bats in Melbourne and Fly By Night, Fremantle, before heading to The Enmore (where Ed Kuepper will appear as a special guest) and then to MoNA's The Void.
