French TV is an American progressive rock band that has been bending the genre’s boundaries since their formation in the early 1980s. Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, the group is known for its intricate compositions, quirky humor, and fusion-infused style that pulls from a variety of influences, ranging from jazz to classical to avant-garde. Led by bassist and primary composer Mike Sary, French TV has built a reputation for their challenging yet accessible music and their dynamic live performances.
Over the years, French TV has seen a rotating lineup of skilled musicians, but the vision of Sary has remained consistent, steering the band through various phases of creative evolution. Their recent releases, such as "French TV: Live At Progday 2009" and "I Forgive You For All My Unhappiness," showcase the live energy and technical prowess that have become hallmarks of their reputation in the progressive rock community. Despite being rooted in the prog-rock tradition, French TV has managed to keep their sound fresh and unpredictable through albums like "After a Lengthy Silence" and "The Violence of Amateurs," offering a unique experience that both challenges and delights listeners. With a discography that now spans multiple decades, French TV continues to stand out in the scene as torchbearers of the genre's innovative spirit.
