Public Access T.V.

Public Access TV know that New York City can do better. That it deserves better. John PATV's frontman and main songwriter grew up in Pegram, Tennessee (population 2,093), and fell in love with the idea of the romantic ideal of this city and its music. When he got here himself, it was not-so-fresh off a $40 bus into Chinatown that took him 18 hours. He didn't know what was going on then, and he knows that there's nothing much going on now. In other words, this is someone who is going to make damn sure that he and his still very new band make things happen.

To date in the bands short existence they have played two shows in Manhattan, Public Access TV are a band who understand the power of not giving away too much, too soon. "That's important to us," John says. "A lot of bands give that up easily, but a little bit of mystery goes a long way. We are not going to be tweeting at other bands or whatever. I want PATV to seem separate from everything else. I don't want to be in any scene, or any world of bands that already exist in New York. I want to start something fresh."
