TV Girl, an American indie pop band, will give their Bangkok debut concert “TV Girl Perform Their Hits Live” at the Samyan Mitrtown Hall of Samyan Mitrtown, Rama IV Road, on Dec 1 at 8pm.
Formed in San Diego in 2010 as an outlet to blend a love of Spector-esque girl group pop with hip-hop, TV Girl consists of lead vocalist Brad Petering, drummer Jason Wyman and keyboardist Wyatt Harmon.
Featuring shimmering vocals and sampled beats, their self-titled debut mini album of the same year turned heads immediately. They released two more mini albums before their first full-length album French Exit was launched in 2014.
The album kept true to the TV Girl charm with a bevy of electronic samplings infused throughout light and airy guitars, whirring organs and ethereal vocals that tell the tale of moody characters fuelled by revenge as often as love, underpinned by a desperation and deep yearning to connect.
Their second album Who Really Cares followed in 2016, finding the band doubling down on their heavy use of samples. The record saw TV Girl combine the aesthetic of 90s hip-hop with modern psychedelic pop, offering a glimpse into the psyche of a love-scorned 20-something.
The band released their latest record Grapes Upon The Vine in 2023. Their most mature effort yet, the album features extensive use of gospel samples as it explores themes of commitment, God and the afterlife, not without TV Girl’s cynicism and biting wit.
Backed by gospel singers and a live band, TV Girl has performed around the world in theatres, arenas and festivals. After Bangkok, the trio will be gracing stages in Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo.
