TV Yellow was formed on the campus of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio in the spring of 1995 as the house band for the famous Dugout Lounge on Court Street. For over three years the band played under the name Kid Charlemagne playing cover songs for beer money while releasing a self titled, self produced debut record. It was this recording that generated interest from the Smokehouse record label to which we have recently signed a three record deal.

In the spring of 1998, the band planned to move to Los Angeles. However, interest from the label kept us at bay and we stayed in Ohio to write and record our debut record as TV Yellow. The name change came about upon relocation from Athens to Cincinnati. The band moved into a big house and lived together for the first time. The change of atmosphere, personal experiences and emotional growth spawned a new attitude within the band. The product of this growth was a change in musical direction to a more classic, groovy sound.

The music changed so drastically that a name change as in order and that is when Kid Charlemagne became TV Yellow. For those not familiar with the name, it is a reference to a guitar finish that was produced in the 1950's. The purpose was to reduce the reflection of light into television cameras of the day. In terms of the sound of the group, bands like Led Zeppelin, the Black Crowes, Lenny Kravitz and the Faces all have a hand in inspiring our music. Retro grooves and emphasis on vocals are key elements in our music. However, our influences are very broad. They run the gamut from Joni Mitchell to the Crusaders.

This band has undergone much change and growth in its first five years of existence. Come experience the music with us and work your way into becoming a part of our history. See and feel the changes with us and we will share the music with you. Adam, TV Yellow
