Television Personalities

Television Personalities are an English post-punk band formed in 1977 in London by front man and singer-songwriter Dan Treacy. Their varied career also encompasses neo-psychedelia and indie pop; the only constant being Treacy's songwriting, with the band being best known for their early single "Part Time Punks", a favourite of John Peel. Present and former members include Chelsea childhood friends 'Slaughter Joe' Joe Foster, one-time best friend Ed Ball and Jowe Head (ex-Swell Maps), with Jeffrey Bloom from 1983 to 1994. Treacy, Head and Bloom formed the longest unchanged line-up.
