TV On The Radio made a triumphant and ecstatic return to Australia Tuesday night. Their Enmore Theatre show was their first in Australia in ten years. The band took a hiatus before returning to the live arena in 2024. I was lucky enough to see them in London last December, but seeing them again a year later was still a massive treat. The band were one of the signature bands from New York in the early 2000s, making music that was thrilling and exciting. Their live shows are exactly the same. Taut, tight and supreme. They played a good selection from across their career, with 'Dear Science' receiving the most attention. 'Wolf Like Me' was probably the standout, with it obviously being their most well known song. But I also loved 'Dreams' and 'DLZ', whilst 'Staring at the Sun' was the obvious and perfect closer. Even without founding member David Sitek currently touring with the band, they are super tight with Kyp Malone and Jaleel Bunton front and centre on guitars. And Tunde Adebimpe is a magnetic and captivating front man. Although I don't think the vocal mix was great, his vocals were a little over powered. But it was great overall, a supreme band showing that they still have the goods.
