Television

One of the best rock bands New York has ever produced, Television was the mid-'70s punk scene's most artistically ambitious combo. Eschewing Ramonesy minimalism in favor of postpsychedelic experimentation, it applied the spirit of jazz improvisation to the guitar-band format to create one of the most celebrated debut albums of all time, 1977's Marquee Moon. Considering this two-show New Year's Eve stint is the crew's first NYC appearance in two years, we'd say 2018 won't be the only thing getting a warm welcome.
