Re: Bands doing TVP covers

Tindersticks have covered "You'll Have To Scream Louder" on their new LP of covers. I like their version.

TVPTribute Gig in Athens 16/03/2019

It would appear that there was a TVP tribute concert in Athens on Saturday, featuring - amongst others - former band members Jowe Head, Dave Musker and Lee McFadden. I knew nothing about this!

Jowe and The Teenage Filmstars (who might they be?) have two dates in Scotland in February, playing a set of TVP and Swell Maps songs, according to the flyers. Exciting!

Re: Whatisdoneisdone

If you browse down the list of topics in the Ed Ball discussion section you'll see quite a few references to new songs, a 7" and a new LP round about 2007/08. As far as I know everything seemed to get pulled from release and Ed disappeared from public view (but he was later confirmed as being ok). S...
