Sound Series: TELEVISION

The Warhol welcomes Television to the Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland for a rare North American performance and much anticipated follow-up to Tom Verlaine’s solo performance at the Hall last October as part of Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films. The current band, which features Verlaine and Jimmy Rip on guitar, Fred Smith on bass, and Billy Ficca on drums, has been active again in the past two years, playing such notable festivals as Big Ears and All Tomorrow’s Parties.

The band has had a profound impact on American and British post-punk and indie rock, and its seminal debut album Marquee Moon (1977) is on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time and is number 3 on Pitchfork Media’s list of the best albums of the 1970s.

The event is co-presented with WYEP 91.3FM.

The Television performance starts promptly at 8 p.m. There are no support artists. Doors open at 7 p.m.
