In a recent interview with MTV, TV On The Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe revealed that the band is planning a one year sabbatical from their full-time job of making incredible music. After nearly a year straight of taking their high energy live show around the globe, they’re tired of seeing each other’s indie faces while living on a bus. Said Adebimpe, “We’ve been on tour for almost a year

TV On The Radio’s Kyp Malone gives us another look at his solo project, Rain Machine, with “Smiling Black Faces.” The song is a long, folky ballad of sorts that features Malone’s emotional, crying voice through mutters and complaints singing mostly inaudible lyrics. So maybe it’s his 21st century Dylan song!But what’s most interesting is [...]
Here's a new joint from the solo project of TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone. The self-titled album will be out 9/22 on Anti-. This one has a stripped down TVOTR feel to it and a slow, steady build up.Rain Machine - Smiling Black FacesPigeons and Planes
Kyp Malone, singer/guitarist/serious beard of TV on the Radio, is set to head out on a North American tour this fall in support of his debut solo project Rain Machine, available September 22 via ANTI- Records. The first single is called “Give Blood,” and it's kind of a jam, but it mostly reminds me that I can't give blood. Sorry dude. I tried to give blood once a few years back, and after I fi
10. TV On the Radio Dear, Science People were probably thinking that TV On the Radio would have shifted towards the mainstream with their major label debut Return to Cookie Mountain but nothing could have been further from the truth. Instead the band crafted an album that was as weirdly catchy as anything they had done before. Amazingly it was their second major label record, Dear, Science...
Being short at gigs is definitely the worst thing that can ever happen to anyone. I am short, so when I entered Manchester Academy slightly late and found a room full of perfectly proportioned persons before me, I nearly wept.Especially as it was TV on the Radio who were playing, who I was very excited about seeing. Dubbed 'the band for thinking humans' by probably absolutely no one, they have ...
Location: Tabernacle Date: Saturday - 10/25 Support: The Dirtbombs It can't get any better when you walk in to a venuw hearing a band with talent. The Dirtbombs delivered a performance that aimed to satisfy and chill their listeners. One of the highlights of the entire night was their exit. After their last song, the drummer would keep playing as everyone packed up. Slowly, one piece of the d...
I'm not a TV on The Radio fan but I've heard about them extensively especially with their critically acclaimed release "Dead Science" which was released last month. I know nothing about TV on The Radio's previous records and I'm going in the dark based on the overwhelming critical and public response. TV on the Radio is [...] No related posts.
[September 20-21, 2008] Day 1 A bus with beautiful leather seats delivers us across the great silver highway in the sky to Treasure Island, a man-made island just off the coast of San Francisco supposedly composed of wreckage and rubble from the great 1904 earthquake. This island has housed the military, the projects, and now the Treasure Island Music Festival. "Where are the people?" says R...

On a Friday off between Cali gigs, TV On The Radio and their horn players stopped by The Tonight Show . They played "Dancing Choose," the song they brought to Letterman's fire escape in September, but Jay Leno doesn't have a fire escape. I understand "Dancing" is the current single, but the celebratory "Golden Age" would've been an even more appropriate way to cap off the historical week. Which...
A few years back when Return To Cookie Mountain was all the rage, many friends of mine kept whispering TV On The Radio in my ear, insisting I would love them. For some reason (probably pure stupidity) I didn't listen. I plugged my ears and sang at the top of my lungs like an ignorant [...]
