Television Personalities were created in 1978 when singer/songwriter Dan Treacy borrowed some money from his mum – and together with best friend Ed Ball, recorded and pressed a couple of hundred copies of two singles, 14th Floor and Part Time Punks. John Peel played both extensively. The songs perfectly captured the post-punk zeitgeist and Treacy had to get many more copies pressed to keep up with demand.
Over the next few decades the line-up of the band changed many times, but they would go on to release a large catalogue of beautifully crafted songs about love, war and the human condition that would endear them to many - and influence an ever-growing number of musicians and those in the music business including Kurt Cobain, MGMT, Alan McGee and Evan Dando.
