TV'S OVER PRESENTS...TV SMITH & THE BORED TEENAGERS
+ BILLY LIAR
All the way from
Barcelona, TV Smith’s Catalonian band The Bored Teenagers return to Britain for
a short tour in Autumn 2026.
Although known mainly as a solo artist these days,
TV still plays a small amount of gigs with a full electric band backing him. He
first met them when bassist BB Quattro invited him over to Spain in 2003 for a
few concerts with his punk-pop band, Suzy & Los Quattro, fronted by their
dynamic female vocalist Suzy Chain. Re-named as “The Bored Teenagers,” the band
backed up TV on a few songs during the encores, and on a day off during the
tour they went into the studio and recorded a single together “What If?/New
Church,” which was released in Spain on the “No Future” label. Self-confessed
Adverts fans, the band went on to learn the entire “Crossing The Red Sea” album
and played it in full with TV on his fiftieth birthday at London’s esteemed 100
Club in 2007.
Since then, TV and the
band have toured regularly together throughout Europe, and made many main stage
appearances at the annual Rebellion Festival in Blackpool. In 2022, after they
had thrilled a wildly enthusiastic capacity crowd there, they dropped into a
local studio and recorded the songs just as they had performed them on stage -
no frills, no pauses, no overdubs, all the energy and excitement of the live
show distilled onto tape in one single glorious take. The resulting album was
released as “TV Smith & The Bored Teenagers Replay The Adverts” on the Easy
Action label.
The band now have all
the Adverts songs in their repertoire, and many of TV Smith’s later recordings
too, with their live set evolving into a mix of both, all played with the
energy and ferocity they have become renowned for. Catch them live this year on
the Empress Ballroom stage at Rebellion in August, and a carefully selected run
of club dates in September.
