TV Girl w/Negative Gemini
The Back Room at Colectivo 2211 N. Prospect Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
On the surface, TV Girl is a sunny, throwback splash of ‘60s French pop and southern California soul. Yet, under that shiny veneer lays a dark heart, beating with sharp wit and cynical alienation, and the music is all the more alluring for it. TV Girl was formed in 2010 as an outlet to blend a love of Spector-esque girl-group pop with an emerging interest in hip-hop. Featuring shimmering vocals and sampled beats, the self-titled debut EP of the same year turned heads online immediately; the group’s lush vintage rhythms and timeless pop hooks were even making waves on the BBC. They continue to release increasingly popular EPs and mixtapes between tours.
