Television (band)

Television was an influential American rock band from New York City, featuring Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. Originally formed from an earlier group called the Neon Boys, Television became an early staple of the Lower Manhattan music club CBGB alongside contemporaries like Patti Smith. Unlike many of their raw punk peers, Television was known for a clean, technical, and jazz-influenced style featuring complex, interlocking guitar work between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd.
