Television Personalities is an interesting British Post Punk band that came up around the same time at The Birthday Party. They inspired the likes of Pavement and MGMT in their more experimental work later in their career. I highly recommend their album “And Don’t the Kids Just Love It.”

Founded in 1995, Broadcast was an English band that drew influences from 60s psychedelia, electronic, and experimental music. Following the death of their lead singer in 2011, Broadcast has found a new life and a cult following due to the mystery surrounding the band. I’ve linked my favorite album, Tender Buttons above.

Originally called “the boys next door” (Which has great music) the birthday party emerged in the 1980’s, making bleak noises that matched Nick Cave’s difficult lyrics about religion, violence and perversity.
Honestly that sounds too harsh but the sounds are a pleasure to listen to and you feel as if your life is about to have a confrontation against school bullies but everything will fall apart

If you like punk music at all this is a must watch!! Here's the blurb:
Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early '70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hoped of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vru_cgNnNv4&t=1077s)
This documentary kind of changed my life I can't even lie to you, and their album ...for all the world to see is really masterful work.

Poet & songwriter best known as the frontman of “Silver Jews,“ and the lesser known “Purple Mountains,“ Berman has a way of exploring the beauty in the darker aspects of life. Berman tragically took his in 2019. He had such a special way with words both as a poet and a songwriter. My favorite song of his, “Famous Eyes” is linked above.

Due to the involvement of the US Military Sponsoring SXSW, many bands and artists have opted to pull out of SXSW as protest for the ongoing genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine. I’m very proud of my friends from Perfectly Imperfect and Baby’s All Right for dropping out of SXSW, and for standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Free Palestine 🍉
