The band TV on the Radio creates eclectic music -- a proper reflection of a group with diverse backgrounds and interests. While their sound ranges from doo-wop to distortion, TV on the Radio is increasingly mentioned as an art rock group with wide appeal, following the trail blazed by the Talking Heads.
Two visual artists are at the helm of TV on the Radio, which is based in art-friendly Brooklyn, New York. Tunde Adebimpe, the group's lead vocalist, is also a multimedia artist who specializes in stop-motion animation.
David Andrew Sitek, who mans a variety of equipment and instruments as needed, is a visual artist and music producer for other New York-area groups who have made it big in the past couple of years. Stolen from npr.org
