Band history
Band from TV made their debut at the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards TV Guide afterparty[1] and as of 2007[update] plays high-paying charity concerts[2] and perform for studio albums. They contributed a song ("You Can't Always Get What You Want") to the House M.D. Original Television Soundtrack,[3] as well as releasing their own album: Hoggin' All the Covers (recorded in July 2007).[1][4]
Band from TV has not been very active following nearly steady performances from April 2008 to June 2012, with only one performance in 2013, one in 2014, and seven in 2015. As of 2022 there have been no live performances since a private event in early 2016.[5][6][7][8] In 2016 they released a Christmas EP through Bandcamp.[9]
