Spirtized rock and stadium sized aspirations.See them. - Dublin Castle
'ETTV are a revelation..rocking out in a class of their own' - Dj Mad Maz
'Explode the TV are very immediate band with good melodies and a god live presence' - Quote
My inner cynic scoffed upon entering the Dublin Castle to see ETTV..a band so intent on destroying the media..they actually appear on TV!..Oh the irony.However ..i was soon turned around...in a big way.
The band enter donned in white shirts daubed with slogans of some sort? It looks cool.Instantly they launch into a verbal headstream of conciousness called Turn it off..we get the message.The following tracks all build to a memeorable chorus and the set generally rocked ten bells.The vocaist is part lunatic part preacher..like an innocent Iggy with a Christ complex.The band hold the attention of the room easily and went down very well.Closing the set with Dont Do it and Pure Water i leave thinking ..yes cool band...one to watch...for sure.Fave set highlight..when Browning vocalist picks up the plastic tv prop and slams it on to the stage screaming..explode the darkeness ..explode the lies...explode the tv!
