Artist Biography
TV on the Radio are a New York City avant-garde indie rock band formed in 2001 whose music spans genres as diverse as freeform jazz, a cappella, psychedelia and trip-hop. The core members are Tunde Adebimpe (vocals/loops), Kyp Malone (vocals/guitars/loops) and David Andrew Sitek (music/guitars/keys/loops) but when live they are accompanied by a full band and on their records they are joined by additional musicians such as Jaleel Bunton (drums), Gerard Smith (bass) (Both of whom have become official members since 2006's Return To Cookie Mountain), Katrina Ford of the band Celebration (vocals), Martin Perna (flute/bari/alto) and Nick Zinner (guitar) of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. David Bowie also sang backup vocals on the latest album Return to Cookie Mountain.
