Well according to the song he was a mod before we was... but what he's not right now is a recording musician. Who? Dan Treacy of THE TELEVISION PERSONALITIES. After dropping off the face of the earth (oh, quite literally after turning up on a prison boat in Dorset some months back), he's compiled 21 new songs that need to be recorded... but as these things happen when you're sobering up and coming out of jail... he hasn't got any money.

It just so happens that quite a few musicians count the Television Personalities amongst their influences and friends... and there's been a benefit show organized for Dan by members of The Baskervilles and other New York area artists. The show will be July 30 at Sin-e in New York (150 Attorney St @ Stanton St) and will be featuring the likes of The Mad Scene, My Favorite, The Baskervilles, The Insomniacs, Burnside Project and notTVPs.
