It's good to be TV on the Radio. Critics lose their shit over them on a daily basis. Fans make sure to sell out all their gigs. And the band gets to be on TV, which is even better than being on the radio if you think about it really hard. As previously reported, the Brooklyn band will perform on the popular comedy program "Saturday Night Live" this Saturday night, February 7. They will play Dear Science tracks "Dancing Choose" and "Golden Age". The show will be hosted by Bradley Cooper aka the dickhead from Wedding Crashers aka the least famous person in He's Just Not That Into You. But he was also in that State movie Wet Hot American Summer, so unexpected greatness could be in store. Half full!

Then TVOTR will travel a few short blocks West and bring their peace-hugging lefty blasphemy to "The Colbert Report" this Monday, February 9. They'll do the hyper-rap funk track "Dancing Choose" once more. Apparently, they'll also get nailed by Mr. Colbert in an interview segment-- we're guessing he'll be none too please about songs like that anti-Bush screed or the one about fucking so hard that floors, walls, and beds break into smithereens. Could get ugly.

Then, on February 17, iTunes will release a TV on the Radio remix EP; the tracklist is still being firmed up.

And, since this is TVOTR and they can't sit still for more than five minutes, they're up to all sorts of side projects and one-offs, which you can read about here. The band will reconverge in time for both Coachella and Bonnaroo before heading out on a full summer tour across the U.S. and Europe that's being sussed out as we type. These guys are reaching Lil Wayne levels of productivity here, it's scary.
