There I stand neath the Marqueen moon, just waiting...

Television from New York, formed in 1973 and undoubtedly influenced some of your favorite punk/indie/new wave bands of the late 70's thru the 80's. From Last.fm:

"Television was one of the most creative bands to emerge from New York’s underground scene of the mid-’70s, creating an influential new guitar vocabulary. While guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd liked to jam, they didn’t follow the accepted rock structures for improvisation — they removed the blues while retaining the raw energy of garage rock, adding complex, lyrical solo lines that recalled both jazz and rock. With its angular rhythms and fluid leads, Television’s music always went in unconventional directions, laying the groundwork for many of the guitar-based post-punk pop groups of the late ’70s and ’80s."
