MVD has announced plans to continue their string of classic punk and new wave DVDs with a compilation of material from late 70s public access program TV Party. A DVD series of the best episodes is planned.



MVD described the show:

In 1978 New York City was the scene of a movement called “punk” or “new wave” --an explosion of rebel music, underground art and new cinema. Glenn O’Brien was in the middle of it, writing his column, Glenn O’Brien’s BEAT, for Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine. He started his own show, Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party. His best pal Chris Stein, Blondie’s guitarist, became co-host and Walter Steding, Warhol’s painting assistant, became leader of the TV Party Orchestra. TV Party was “the cocktail party that could become a political party.”

Guests featured on the discs include Iggy Pop, Alex Chilton, Mick Jones among others.
