Artist Biography
by Jason Ankeny
Over the course of a long career that led them from
wide-eyed shambling pop to the outer reaches of psychedelia and back,
Britain's
Television Personalities influenced artists as diverse as feedback virtuosos
the Jesus and Mary Chain, twee pop titans
the Pastels, lo-fi kingpins
Pavement and neo-psych oddballs
MGMT. Led by the alternately whimsical and devastating songwriting of
Dan Treacy,
the band began recording in the late '70s with an off-kilter take on
punk, the band followed a winding path that resulted in a long string of
songs (from 1978's "Part Time Punk" to 2010's "A New Tattoo") and
albums (classics like 1981's
...And Don't the Kids Just Love It and 2006's wrenching
My Dark Places) that were always hooky, emotionally powerful and beloved by those who understood
Treacy's outsider vision and unique voice.
