to love! ?
All the way from Barcelona, TV Smith’s Catalonian band
The Bored Teenagers return to Britain for a short tour in Spring 2019.
Although known mainly as a solo artist these days, TV still plays a
small amount of gigs with a full electric band backing him. He first met
them when bassist BB Quattro invited him over to Spain in 2003 for a
few concerts with his punk-pop band, Suzy & Los Quattro, fronted by
their dynamic female vocalist Suzy Chain. Re-named as “The Bored
Teenagers,” the band backed up TV on a few songs during the encores, and
on a day off during the tour they went into the studio and recorded a
single together “What If?/New Church,” which was released in Spain on
the “No Future” label. Self-confessed Adverts fans, the band went on to
learn the entire “Crossing The Red Sea” album and played it in full with
TV on his fiftieth birthday at London’s esteemed 100 Club in 2007. This
performance was later released on CD by Boss Tuneage records. TV and
the band went on to tour the “Red Sea” set in Germany and the UK, and in
2016 wowed the main stage at the Rebellion Festival with a set
comprising songs from “Crossing The Red Sea” and the second Adverts
album “Cast Of Thousands.” The following day they played a set of TV’s
post-Adverts songs on the huge Opera stage to an ecstatic full house. As
well as playing a select club tour in the UK in May 2019, TV Smith
& The Bored Teenagers are already booked to return to Rebellion 2019
for a further two sets of Adverts and TV Smith classics - including of
course some from his brand new album “Land Of The Overdose.”
