MINIONTV


MINIONTV are an instrumental post-rock band based in Liverpool. Founded in 2009 and inspired by genres ranging from ambient to electronic, the band honed their thundering yet sweet melodic sound on the live circuit. Having attracting a loyal fan following, the band released their first self-titled post-rock album, MINIONTV, in 2010, which gained interest across the globe. Hits from the album, such as Battleships and Don’t Burn The House Down, were featured in a major advertising campaign for Lexus and soundtracks for TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy. Live performances also saw MINIONTV supporting bands such as HEALTH, I Like Trains as well And So I Watch You From Afar. Always experimenting to push their own musical boundaries, the band were heavily influenced by electronic music in the production of their second release, Arecibo, in 2011. The band’s heavy guitar riffs and signature melodies were still present but with a much more electronic vibe. MINIONTV explored their new sound on stage at festivals including Liverpool Sound City as well as The Threshold Festival and also during a UK tour. The band returned with their third release The Last Projectionist in 2012, which was an introspective exploration of new technology and its impact on nostalgia. It was a celebration of traditional heavy post-rock guitar with songs such as She’s A Sleeper, mixed with modern electronic riffs in This Is Fucking Glorious, with some ambient soundscapes and occasional jazz-like bass...
