Alt Citizen: Introducing AC15, a series of back-to-back shows, 6-nights-in-a-row, with 20+ live acts across multiple beloved venues in NYC from Sept 9-14.
Our live show series is a homage to the OG NYC music festival and conference, CMJ (College Music Journal), an annual happening that took over the city and made us all discover new artists up close and personal.
All for the love of Music Discovery. So fun and cool! And so important!

How’s tour going? You just wrapped up England and now on to Paris & Netherlands, is this your first time touring in these areas?
Tour is going great and my liver is suffering greatly for it. It’s not our first time in these parts but we’re hitting some new cities that we’re looking forward to. We’re playing in Rotterdam tonight for the first time, on a boat, which is always interesting because I get super fucking seasick.
You’re playing the Alt Citizen 15 year anniversary show (the second night) at TV Eye with “My Bitch Ex Wife” (NYC debut) & Hearsay! How will it feel coming home after a big tour playing a show like this which celebrates the music community and discovery of music?
It’ll be so nice to see everyone again and wrap up this whole album release marathon with another hometown gig before we take some time off. The NYC scene is such a unique and special thing to be a part of and coming home to it always reminds us why we’ve stuck around so long. Nothing like a new york slice am I right!
How did you link up with Alt Citizen?
We met on Hinge, swiped right, been in love ever since. 15 years and we’re still going strong. Glad we did that pre-nup though. (Its not you, its us.)
You just released a remix of your killer song Party Time (off the S/T album in may) with Adult DVD “Party Time (Adult DVD remix)”! It’s an amazing adrenaline rush of a remix! How did that play out and do you have any more remixes in the works?
Adult DVD actually did that completely unprompted after we partied with them for a few days in Europe. They wanted a better backing track for getting into fights at hotels in Ghent so they made their own version by ripping the vocal stems with AI. The remix rave album of the century is coming soon, yes.
With the AC15 motto being “All for the love of Music Discovery” I think TVOD matches perfectly with a band I want everyone to know and listen to! You as a band seem like one big stoked family, bringing the love and party with you where ever you go! How long have you been together and what’s the vibes like?
We also all met on hinge on a post-pandemic slump-buster orgy. 6 people is a lot of people to split a liter of tequila with so we try to get along.
It feels like some of you are or were in different bands, does that help when starting/playing in TVOD?
No. The scheduling is a nightmare. All must bend their will to the law of TVOD. Number one or GET OUT.
Nah but seriously it’s great to have all of these different angles and perspectives keeping our creative edge sharp.
What do you have planned for the future?
Nothin, wanna hang out?
Where can people find the gang and your music?
Local cemeteries, dusty dim dentist waiting rooms, lowes home improvement, alphaville, your moms basement. The music is on the internet I think.
Any good eats while on tour?
We’ve decided it’s more efficient if we just put the baguettes directly up our asses.
Last words?
OH SHIT LOOK OUT FOR THAT —
Thanks so much for your time! (Streetalkny to TVOD)
