Return Of The Television Personalities

To be honest, I own few pieces of rock memorabilia. One of the few I own is a Television Personalities gig poster, signed by the band's main man Dan Treacy. It's got pride of place on my bedroom wall, and is the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning.

I got into the band in the mid 90s, and they've been regulars on my headphones ever since - they're simply inspirational and thoroughly entertaining.

Last time I checked, Dan was still missing in action, presumed dead. But now I'm all a quiver, I've just spotted that Dan Treacy is alive and well and has resurfaced after the best part of a decade - and has a blog. Looking about, its seems this is old news to many, but I've been oblivious to it till now and completely missed it.

What's more, there's a new single and an album - Dark Places which came out in February. Man my heads been down for a while. But even better still, they're doing a festival near me in August, The Green Man Festival - and I'm now working hard on talking the wife into going.

So, here's a video of the newish single. I'm not decided yet, its great to hear some fresh material and learn one of the great pioneers of Indie rock is alive and well and still creating uniquely personal music.
