Television

Ah, Television—a band that truly captures the essence of the New York punk and avant-garde scene. By the time they took the stage at the Bowery Ballroom on December 30, 2017, they were plugging into a long and storied legacy. They released their iconic album "Marquee Moon" back in 1977, a record that not only defined their sound but also influenced a multitude of genres. Interestingly, their performance that night felt like both a celebration of the past and a testament to their enduring relevance. With most of the original lineup intact, including frontman Tom Verlaine, the energy in the room must have been electric, considering how pivotal they were in shaping the music landscape. Many attendees likely felt a rush of nostalgia, remembering how Television’s intricate guitar work and poetic lyrics changed the game back in the '70s. It’s a reminder that great music continues to resonate, no matter the decade!
