Television Tickets

TELEVISION IN CONCERT:

New York art punk luminaries Television remain one of the most important and influential band's bands of to emerge from the late '70s Lower East Side rock scene. Indeed, Pitchfork awarded their seminal 1977 debut Marquis Moon a perfect ten more than 25 years after its release -- a testament to the band's lasting importance among younger generations. Tom Verlaine and company have been flooring fans on their latest tour, and they'll continue to do so as they treat ticket buyers to more elegant playing, dignified onstage banter, and beautifully updated renditions of classics "Marquis Moon" and "Torn Curtain."

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed by childhood friends Tom Verlaine and Richard Hell in 1973, Television got their start playing such legendary New York City gigs as CBGB and Max's Kansas City.  Boasting the unique unique technique of interlocking dual guitarists Verlaine and Richard Lloyd, the band's 1977 debut album Marquis Moon was an unquestionable success among critics and fans, landing on charts in various European countries and resulting in extensive touring. Despite the success of their debut, the group disbanded shortly after the release of their 1978 sophomore album Adventure, only to reunite in 1992 for an eponymous third album. Since then, they have performed live sporadically, most notably in 2001 for the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in England. Back on the road, Television will treat fans to the greatest hits from their epochal discography.
