TV On The Radio is back ... celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut release, Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes, with a deluxe version of the album with previously unreleased tracks. 

The Brooklyn-based band just wrapped up four nights at Webster Hall on 11th Street (Nov. 25-26, Nov. 29-30), the first live shows in five years (not counting the surprise TV Eye gig last Sunday or the Vans-Max Fish celebration in September).

Dan Efram, who shared these photos, called Monday's kick-off show a "mesmerizing, rejuvenating and affirming performance."

Here's a look at the band, including core members Tunde Adebimpe, Kyp Malone and Jaleel Bunton (Dave Sitek was not part of this residency)...

Read an oral history of the great East Village zine shop See Hear

A weekend read for your consideration via Animal New York. Freddy Alva delivers an oral history of See Hear, the (late) great zine shop down a few steps at 59 E. Seventh St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Alva, a one-time employee, spoke with owner and founder Ted Gottfried as well as co-workers Reuben Radding, Chesley Hicks, Rob Price ... and longtime customer Thurston Moore. Find the post here. 

The shop was around from the mid-1980s to the early 2000s... including a brief revival on St. Mark's Place. Alex has a tribute from 2013 to See Hear at this link.
