Television

Ah, Television—a band that truly defined the sound of the NYC punk scene in the '70s! By April 16, 1976, when they performed “Let Me Out” at the legendary CBGBs, they were riding high on the waves of their iconic debut album, *Marquee Moon*, which would be released just a few months later, in February 1977. Interesting enough, the song showcased during that April show was uncannily fresh, hinting at the band’s innovative approach to songwriting with its jangly guitars and poetic lyrics. Reflecting on their early days, it’s fascinating to note that Television was already cultivating a cult following, performing unreleased tracks that would soon become ingrained in the fabric of rock history. Their raw energy at CBGBs captured the essence of a transformative moment in music, laying the groundwork for albums that would come to be revered as classics. Wasn’t it something how the buzz of anticipation for *Marquee Moon* was palpable even back then?
