At the end of March 1974, Televison played for the first time at CBGB and punk rock was born. Before long they would be followed on the stage there by Patti Smith, the Ramones and Blondie, while Malcom McLaren would see them play and return hotfoot to London with the blueprint for the Sex Pistols. Television re-ignited the rock scene by combining the revolutionary art of the Velvet Underground with the street swagger of the New York Dolls. Sonic Transmission presents the complete story of Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine and Television, from the very beginning to the present days.
