TV On The Radio

TV On The Radio are erstwhile Brooklyn boys David Sitek, Tunde Adebimpe, Kyp Malone, Gerard Smith and Jaleel Bunton.

Founding member Sitek - who has produced albums for US cool set names the Liars and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - met singer and lyricist Adebimpe in 2000 when the two became neighbours in a Brooklyn apartment building and they were soon performing as an improvisational two-piece.

Their ranks were swelled by the arrival of guitarist Malone (also sweet falsetto harmony vocals), bassist Smith and drummer Bunton.

Their debut EP, 'Young Liars' was released on cult indie label Touch & Go, in summer 2003, which has been followed by first album, 'Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes', which is released via 4AD in the UK, and T&G again in the US.
