Television were a New York rock band formed in 1973, notable for their intricate guitar interplay and avant-garde leanings. They emerged from the same fertile downtown scene that also produced Patti Smith and the Ramones, but carved out a distinct path with their complex song structures and poetic lyrical themes.
