Tender Buttons

"Black Cat" is the second song on Broadcast's third studio album "Tender Buttons", released in September 2005. A music video was released for the song, and features clips of lead singer Trish Keenan edited together with flashing red lights. "Trish, who I was friends with for many years, used to come to my house during the day when I was out at work to write songs. My cat, Corky, is very shy, and at first he would just poke his head around the door of the room where she was sitting, and then run away. Read more on Last.fm.

Broadcast was a British indie electronic band formed in 1995 in Birmingham, England. The band originally consisted of Trish Keenan (vocals), Tim Felton (guitar), James Cargill (bass), Roj Stevens (keyboards) and Steve Perkins (drums). Perkins and Stevens left the band in 2000, and Felton left in 2004. Stevens released a solo album under the name Roj, and Felton formed the group Seeland with Billy Bainbridge from Plone. After the January 2011 death of Trish Keenan, James Cargill is the only current member of the band. Broadcast released three studio albums: The Noise Made by People (2000), Haha Sound (2003), and Tender Buttons (referencing Gertrude Stein's experimental book of poetry by the same name) (2005) on Warp Records, as well as several EPs and a collaborative album with the Focus Group titled Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age (2009). Their final release as a group was Distant Call, released in 2024. The band's first releases were singles released on Wurlitzer Jukebox Records ( Accidentals ) and Duophonic Records (The Book Lovers) in the mid-1990s. The Book Lovers was also featured on the soundtrack of the film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. They attracted the attention of Warp Records, who compiled the singles in 1997 on Work and Non Work. The band was chosen by Matt Groening to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival he curated in May 2010 in Minehead, Somerset, England. The band's style is a mixture of electronic sounds and Keenan's 1960s-influenced vocals. It is heavily influenced by the 1960s influenced American psychedelic group The United States of America, using many of the same electronic effects. It was also reminiscent of Stereolab. However, despite the similar musical pedigree, Broadcast's music is often darker and edgier in sound – with amorphous samples and analogue dissonance giving it a retro-futuristic sci-fi edge. On January 14th, 2011, Trish Keenan died from complications caused by pneumonia. There is more than one artist with this name, including: 1) Broadcast is a Swedish melodic hardcore band from west coast of Sweden. 2) Broadcast was a Finnish pop-rock group founded in 1980. 1) Broadcast is a Swedish melodic hardcore band from west coast of Sweden.
