Television's Marquee Moon helped helped shape the sound of post-punk and influenced generations of musicians.
In 2017, guitarist Richard Lloyd spoke to Consequence about the making of the landmark 197 album, the band's early days at CBGB, and the creative chemistry that made it all possible.

As guitar playing was being reconfigured by punk, Richard Lloyd (RIP) brought an expansive approach to the instrument with Tom Verlaine that remains indelible. I wrote about Lloyd, Verlaine (who died in 2023), Television and the title track of "Marquee Moon." Link below.
