We've been spending the late winter months working on new songs and rehearsing at Powbeat Towers. The Powbeat Shed has been burning the midnight oil as new demos have taken shape. And now we're recording the results and hope to preview the new songs at some point in the not too distant future.
A Day Out At The Seaside
We've been invited to play the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool in August, so if you haven't made your holiday plans yet, you know where to go. Our old buddies The Rezillos will also be there. Keep checking for details here: www.rebellionfestivals.com/rebellion-blackpool.html.
The Man From Powbeat (March 2008)
It Feels Like It's Starting To Snow
So, 2008. We worked out that if keep things going until June we'll have been going as long as we did first time around. The way things are going, that does look pretty likely. The proposed Canadian cd reissue of "A Thin Red Line" didn't come to anything but we are in discussions at present with a UK label to get it put out as one half of a double CD, with a second disc of new material. We'll also fill the first disc with singles. Watch here for updates.

Background to TV21
Originally formed in 1979, TV21 released a string of singles and one album, A Thin Red Line. During that time they toured extensively, both in their own right and as support to bands such as The Skids, The Jam, The Moondogs and The Undertones. But by May 1982 the band had grown frustrated at their inability to break through to the next level and decided to quit while they were ahead, immediately after coming offstage supporting The Rolling Stones at Edinburgh Playhouse. And that was the end of that, until October 2005, when out of the blue, they agreed to perform as part of the John Peel Day gigs organised around the country to mark the anniversary of the DJ’s death.
Peel had been a huge influence on the band and it seemed entirely appropriate to get together for the event. The gig, at Edinburgh’s Citrus Club, was an unqualified success, if a little rough at the edges, though that was hardly surprising after twenty three years, the introduction of a new drummer and only two rehearsals! Most surprising for the three original band members was simply how much they enjoyed playing again. So, now they’re back and enjoying it more and more.
