After releasing their EP “We Are Busy Bodies,” punk trio TV Buddhas, from Tel Aviv, Israel embarked on their first U.S. tour this fall. The group’s raw, intense music brings together the simplicity of The Ramones, the explosiveness of Richard Hell and the anti-rock of The Modern Lovers.

The band showcases its talent with the basic elements of minimalistic drums, loose guitars and an anti social edge.

TV Buddhas are playing at Strange Matter tonight with Richmond rockers The Two Funerals and Jeff The Brotherhood.
