Tee Vee Repairman — What’s on TV (Total Punk)

What's On TV? by Tee Vee Repairmann

Tee Vee Repairman makes an old-school garage punk racket, swamping catchy songs in acid baths of dissonance and feedback. Gangly, mop-headed Ishka Edmeades is the band’s sole consistent member, though the group expands to four in the live setting. Like a hundred punk poets before him, he finds existential angst and jubiliant triumph in the most mundane of settings, a bus stop, the checkout line, the street.

What’s on TV? follows 2022’s full-length Waste My Time Watching TV and an earlier EP called Patterns from 2021. Both previous recordings were released first on Edmeades’ own Warttmann, Inc. label. In addition to running a label, he’s been in and out of a number of Sydney bands, including Devo-esque, electro-punk Set-Top Box, synth-aided punk outfit Satanic Togas and Gee-Tee, which is in much the same Ramones/Thunders/Dead Boys vein as Tee Vee Repairman.

“Bus Stop” is the best song here, a snappy, snotty punk anthem, haunted peripherally by a wavery synth/keyboard bit. It’s a nice touch, turning a straight up, guitar-slashing banger into something surreal and out of kilter, like Exploding Hearts with floating anxiety. It’s fitting, too, since the story is one of expectation turning to creeping unease; we’re at the bus stop waiting for something like Godot, who never shows.

Tee Vee Repairman has Jay Reatard’s knack for splicing the giddy fun of garage punk to musings on life’s utter pointlessness. “What’s the Use?” careens like a carnival ride, calliope tootle and all, a sped up clatter of guitars and drums, yet asks why we’re here and when it will stop. “Drowning” chimes and rattles like a non-stop party tune, yet again, Edmeades is waiting for someone. The sonic high point of the tune is when he wails, “I was drowning,” and you want to join in but it seems a little risky.

I can’t wind this down without a nod to the balls-out swagger of “Checkout Line.” The tune’s got a monster riff at its foundation, slightly syncopated, and Edmeades adopts a stuttering, stop-start cadence to deliver the words in time with it. You can hear the Sex Pistol’s guitar blare and the Clash’s anthemry in the cut. There’s even a bass solo. What’s not to love?

RP POSITIVITY MEME / accepting.

❀ What is your favorite thing about your current fandom or RP community?

Hmmmmm. Well there are a lot of really great original characters that people are sleeping on, that’s for sure. I have seen such awesome characterization come from the marvel rpc, and I’m really lucky to have met a lot of the writers that pour their hearts and souls out into their originals. I find them far more compelling than half of the canons in the rpc.

☯ Tell us all about your favorite muse you’ve ever written and why they meant so much to you.

okay so ---- SECOND FAVORITE MUSE: Jennifer Worley / Ophelia DeVos. Jenn has been someone that is in a novel I wrote (womp) but I used her blog to help shape her voice as I was going through the writing process of it. She’s such a fierce person, she holds a very special place in my heart considering I’ve been developing her since I was like 13, and she honestly just needs a break. Born into the life she never wanted, escaped with a faux-death, she’s.... my bae. truly madly deeply.
