TV on the Radio
Over the weekend, I did head to San Francisco for the Treasure Island Music Festival. I will be posting a complete review of the entire festival but for now…..this is all about one band which completely surprised me.
To be honest, I was not a fan of this band before this past weekend. I have many, many friends who love them and have given me all their released CD’s which I never listen to ever. To say I wasn’t really excited to see them would be an understatement. Especially since they were third to last for the day and I had been standing for hours.
BUT, TV on the Radio surprised the hell out of me. They were great and I can say this with only semi-knowing one of their songs. For most people, watching a band and not being familiar with their music can make for a very long and boring set. But TV had amazing energy and drew you into their songs, almost daring you not to pay attention to them. Needless to say, I have been converted. Today they are releasing their new album, Dear Science, which they played 3 songs from on Saturday. All were great and I recommend you check them out. If you have the chance to see them live; go! It will be worth it.
