Biography
by Heather Phares
Taking their name from the phenomenon of analog television frequency disturbances, Lafayette, IN's TV Ghost conjures an especially sludgy and punishing brand of art-punk. Featuring Dolan Brahne Hoeft, Jackson VanHorn, Shawn Ghost, and Timothy Conrad Gick, TV Ghost began making a name for themselves in 2007, when their first 7," "Atomic Rain," was released by Die Stasi Records, also home to the noisy likes of Pink Reason and Zola Jesus. The band's sinister sound -- which echoed the Scientists and the Cramps' mid-'70s output -- and frantic live show won them an underground following; a nine-song EP, also on Die Stasi, arrived in early 2008. That year, TV Ghost signed to In the Red to release a full-length album and appeared at the label's South by Southwest showcase. The band also released The Fiend/Prodome as a part of Columbus Discount's single of the month club in May 2009, a few months before their debut full-length Cold Fish surfaced.
