> NEW YORK (Billboard) - Seminal New York rock act Television is pondering a
> return to the recording studio, guitarist Richard Lloyd tells
Billboard.com.
>
>
>
> Although Television has not released a studio album since a 1992
self-titled
> set for Capitol, Lloyd says, "We have quite a few new songs which get
> performed live, and we also talk about recording from time to time."
>
>
> "Currently we do not have record company funding, but may do some
recording
> anyway," Lloyd continues. "Although recording new material is desirable,
we
> are in no hurry, which is par for our course."
>
>
> Lloyd is referring to the decade-plus hiatus that followed the release of
> the band's acclaimed late-1970s albums "Marquee Moon" and "Adventure."
After
> re-forming to record "Television" and tour, the band vanished for nearly
> another decade before regrouping in 2001 for a run of shows in the U.K.
and
> North America.
>
>
> As previously reported, "Marquee Moon" and "Adventure" will be reissued in
> expanded form Sept. 23 by Rhino, in addition to a previously unreleased
> concert album, "Live at the Old Waldorf."
>
>
> Whether the band hits the studio or not, Lloyd seems pleased Television is
> again "fully functional. We have been performing around 10-12 shows a
year,
> in various places."
>
>
> The group will play Sept. 25 in Tokyo and Sept. 27 at the Asagiri Jam
> Festival in Fujinomiya, Japan. A Sept. 21 gig in San Francisco has also
been
> added.
>
>
> Lloyd has been busy touring and recording with Rocket From The Tombs, the
> late, great '70s Cleveland rock act that never released an album in its
> lifetime but was home to future Pere Ubu frontman David Thomas and Dead
Boys
> guitarist Cheetah Chrome. The revived group will tour the U.S. in November
> and December.
>
>
> Lloyd also is mixing an album he produced for New York band the Blondes.
