In March 1977, Alternative TV was formed by Mark Perry (vocals/guitar) and guitarist Alex Fergusson. They played their first gig at the Nottingham Punk Festival in May 1977 and released their first album in May 1978. After experimenting with different styles, the band broke up for the first time in late 1979 but reformed in '81. They have since split and started again multiple times and are still active as of early '08.

they continue to create music that resonates with fans old and new.
