I saw these guys perform on the Colbert Report. I looked them up and their music is really good. I heard their last album won Album of the Year 2008.

I beg of you to give me some credit. I lasted 12 seconds before I almost broke the OFF button I hit so fast and furious. Sounds like some kind of tecno wrap. One thing is for sure. That stuff will wake a dead man from his coffin.

They're experimental. They change styles all the time. None of their songs sound the same.

I'm not really a fan of TV on the Radio. I do enjoy Wolf Like Me:

They are one of the great bands of our time.
I still love their album "Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes" best but everything that they have made has been really good.
I saw them live last year and it was a different experience than I imagined - they had a pretty large band with a lot of various brass instruments and it was really like seeing a "jam band" complete with long extended song versions and much of the crowd dancing like they were at a Grateful Dead show. This was also late October in Austin (perfect weather) in an outdoor venue so it was an all around amazing night. Even better than I expected.

Eh, I wish they would come to perform here. Damn you Indiana, lol.

I second that! Rarely do we get great bands like TV On The Radio to play around here. Damn you Indiana!

We do have Willie Nelson (a legend in his own right) coming in May. I'm not really much of a country fan. I just like his message.
