In March 2004, when TV on the Radio performed live at Ace's Basement in Greensboro, they were on the cusp of significant recognition with their debut studio album, "Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes," having been released just a few months prior in September 2004. This album marked their first major foray into the indie rock scene, showcasing their innovative blend of rock, post-punk, and electronic music, and it would eventually earn them critical acclaim. Notably, this performance occurred during a pivotal moment when they were actively developing their unique sound and identity. The live recording captures the raw energy and experimental spirit of the band in its early days, before they gained widespread popularity and accolades, including Grammy nominations later in their career.
