Ask anyone. Anyone with even just a slightest interest in pop music and they will all have a different take on THE TELEVISION PERSONALITIES.Someone will mention that they were KURT COBAIN's favourite band. Someone else will go on about how they were the inspiration behind CREATION RECORDS and ALAN MCGEE's biggest heroes. And a third person will call them the Original BABYSHAMBLES , from across the room someone will ask if they really did support PINK FLOYD on the back of their "I Know Where Syd Barrett Live" single. And didn't they have the cheek to call an album 'They Could Have Been Bigger Than The Beatles'? 'My Dark Places' is the first Television Personalities album in 11 years. It's the record some of us always knew he'd do one day. It's as sad as it is uplifting, as gentile as it is noisy. And lyrically, you won't hear anything else that touches you more than "No More I Hate You's" or "There's No Beautiful Way to Say Goodbye". You see, DANIEL TREACY is not your typical boy.Born in Chelsea, London, Dan Treacy is The Television Personalities. Ever since releasing their first DIY-single in 1977, "14th Floor", and the classic follow up "Part Time Punks" later the same year, The TVP's have always been about Dan's songwriting, his honest words and unique voice.
