Perth indie-rockers TV Snow are thrilled to present their latest power
pop single ‘Neon Nights’ Saturday, September 14, 8pm at Amp in Perth.
They’ll be filming on the night – making one of those slo-mo vibey vids so get in to hear more of their new tunes- with Tired Lion (facebook.com/TiredLionBand), Apache (facebook.com/Apacheperth) and Fly Breeder. $10 on the door!
‘Neon Nights’ shows off TV Snow’s trademark sparkling pop melodies with anthemic 80’s guitar rock sensibility. Enigmatic lyrically and a departure from their earlier sound, it hints at new depths even as it coaxes frenzied fists into the air!
TV Snow came together 4 years ago, bonding over a love of rapid indie-rock rhythms and washed-out coastal melodies. First recording in November 2010 under the guidance of Shaun Sibbes and Lee Jones (ex-Eskimo Joe), their debut ep soon saw them playing supports for blossoming local groups (Rainy Day Women, The Ghost Hotel, The Warning Birds) interstate bands (Bleeding Knees Club) and internationally touring acts (Lydia, USA).
Fast forward to a 2012 tour of Melbourne followed by more studio sessions that would see that band working towards an album release with the help of new bass player Ben Linden. The band finished recording their debut long player on July 13 th – but the next day, tragedy struck. Ben, an avid surfer, was riding waves near Wedge Island when he was fatally attacked by a shark.
Many bands might have thrown in the towel at this point, TV Snow were unshakably affected by the way their friend’s presence lived on in the music they had just finished recording. They called the CD Red – the name by which Ben was known to his friends and toured it in the US and Australia.

TV Snow ditches the typical tropical, tribal warmth, and adds a bit more of a straight forward rock sound to go along with their poppy, coastal grooves….a big sound that demands your attention.” – The Record Stache
TV Snow’s ‘Neon Nights’ will be on iTunes from 1 September.
