ART rock band extraordinaire TV On The Radio will be bringing their psychedelic adrenaline-laced post-punk grooves to Manchester on June 27.
Formed in 2001 in Brooklyn, New York, their music spans numerous diverse genres, from post-punk to electro and free jazz to soul music.
They are touring in support of the recent release, Nine Types Of Light, which is the follow-up to the band’s gorgeous, glorious 2008 release, Dear Science, which proved to be a breakout release.
It was named album of the year by Rolling Stone, Spin, The Guardian, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, MTV and NPR. Touring behind the album, the group sold out a year’s worth of live shows across the world.
Their Manchester show is one of only two UK dates this summer.
* TV On The Radio play Academy 2, Manchester on Monday, June 27. Tickets cost £17.50 and are available from manchesteracademy.net or by ringing 0161 832 1111.
