The Green and Yellow TV was created with a desire to create music that exists somewhere between pop’s past and its future. Friends Michael Regilio, Todd O'keefe and Justin Rocherolle uprooted from Boston and set out to start anew in the world of sunshine and plastic people.

Settling in the fashionable Silver Lake neighborhood of L.A., the three met girl bass player Io Perry and The Green and Yellow TV was born. Garnering much praise, The Green and Yellow TV played South by Southwest, CMJ, and North by North West. Interest soon followed, and with the money afforded them by an Atlantic Records spec deal, the band recorded their first E.P. “Scarecrow Museum.”

Following the success of "Scarecrow Museum" (culminating in a full segment dedicated to the band on L.A.’s K-ROQ), The Green and Yellow TV completed their first full length record “As Performed By”. Legendary British D.J. John Peel began spinning the single “The Big Red Machine”. In spite of many fantastic reviews, the once secret romance between the front man and the bass player was turning into a bad breakup.

Steven Shane McDonald, formerly of Redd Kross, stepped in on bass. The new line up recorded the popular single “That Says it All”. Released in Europe on Falsetto Records the song was again embraced by John Peel.

When McDonald left to tour with Beck, The Green and Yellow TV made a “Sea Change” of their own. Lead singer Todd O’keefe assumed the role of bass player.

Forced to do more with less their sound was redefined.

Teaming up with producer Sheldon Gomberg and engineer Barry Goldberg (Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, Fleetwood Mac) the band recorded “Sinister Barrier.” Widely considered their finest work to date the record has made numerous "best of" list and was tapped by Filter Magazine as a weekly pick.
