    TV Smith, founding member, singer and songwriter for punk torchbearers The Adverts, is heading to Australia for dates with his band, TV Smith’s Adverts, over and after the Easter break  in April.

    The Adverts, of course, formed in the UK in late 1976 and were one of the leading bands in the first wave of British punk rock. The Adverts performed regularly at the newly-opened Roxy Club in London in 1977, and gained cult success with the Stiff Records single "One Chord Wonders."
