Here's why you should see TV Girl live in Auckland next month.

Here's why we think you should see them live... 

#1. The band was formed back in 2010 (so have been around now for 14 years!) - their first full-length album was titled 'French Exit' and released in 2014. We're sure you will recognise this iconic album cover. 

#2. The group's latest record, 'Grapes Upon The Vine', was released last year. This new album takes the band into a sound they haven't deeply explored before with a choir and gospel feel throughout. 

#3. They are well-renowned for often using interesting and unique samples through their music - you can check out some of the cool samples below.

On their samples, Brad Petering shares with Synth History: "Sometimes there’s just a loop that you could imagine a hip hop beat under, this little four-bar section. But then other times if it sounds good you can just chop it up, there are endless possibilities. Usually I like very melodic, catchy things."

#4. The group have had a song recently go viral - you would have definitely heard 'Lovers Rock' before. This track is named after the reggae sub-genre which was common in the 70s/80s notably for it's romantic sound.

Petering shared about their virality with Synth History: "I was just staying in New York in the middle of the pandemic. I don’t know how I found out this was happening, because I don’t use TikTok and it was probably pretty new back then, but I saw some things on Twitter and it was very apparent because everything on our Spotify started skyrocketing at the same time. And then when we eventually went on tour it was like… “woah”. It was completely different after that first tour, in good and bad ways." 

#5. To get a sneak peek of what you'll see at the show next month, here's some clips of live performances from the group...
