The Brooklyn-based group TV on the Radio mixes post-punk,
electronic, and other atmoshperic elements in such a
creative way that it only makes sense that its core duo,
vocalist Tunde Adebimpe and multi-instrumentalist/producer
David Andrew Sitek, are both visual artists as well as
musicians. Adebimpe is a graduate of NYU's film school and
specializes in stop-motion animation, which his Brothers
Quay-like video for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs single "Pin"
demonstrates amply. He is also a painter, as is Sitek, who
also produced the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Machine EP and their
full-length Fever to Tell.
The duo met when Sitek moved into the building where
Adebimpe had a loft; each of them had been recording music
on his own, but realized their sounds would work well
together. Sitek's brother Jason began playing drums and
other instruments with the pair during their recording
sessions, which resulted in a self-titled, 24-track CD
released by the Brooklyn Milk imprint. Jason Sitek left
the band for a short time due to other musical commitments
but returned to the band when they recorded their Touch
and Go debut, the Young Liars EP.
After the EP was completed, TV on the Radio added
guitarist/vocalist Kyp Malone to their fold. Young Liars,
which also features the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Brian Chase and
Nick Zinner, was released in summer 2003 to critical
acclaim, coinciding with their gigs opening for the Fall.
Their first full-length release, Desperate Youth, Blood
Thirsty Babes arrived in spring 2004. The band remained
busy for the rest of the year, embarking on their own
tours as well as dates with the Faint and the Pixies. That
fall, they released the New Health Rock EP and won the
2004 Shortlist Prize.
In 2005, the band kept busy with touring and returned to
Sitek's Stay Gold studio to work on their second album.
They also made an MP3 criticizing President George W.
Bush, "Dry Drunk Emperor," available on their website. TV
on the Radio signed with 4AD for European distribution of
their albums and moved to Interscope in the U.S. In summer
2006 they resurfaced with Return to Cookie Mountain, a
more polished but still searching collection of songs that
featured David Bowie on backing vocals.
