Television

TelevisionTelevision was one of the most creative bands to emerge from New York's underground scene of the mid-'70s, creating an influential new guitar vocabulary. While guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd liked to jam, they didn't follow the accepted rock structures for improvisation — they removed the blues while retaining the raw energy of garage rock, adding complex, lyrical solo lines that recalled both jazz and rock.
Band From: United States, New York City - New York
Band Members: Tom Verlaine (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Fred Smith (bass, vocals), Jimmy Ripp (guitar), and Billy Ficca (drums)
