is PTV still a thing? like are they still together?

Yes they are.

Listening to What's This Called?, last month (maybe December broadcast), I heard Dead-Air mention they had recently played a show in Portland Goth club. Genesis is the only original member and they opened the show covering a Hawkwind tune......believe they are currently touring Europe.

I have read where Genesis plans to involve himself more whit writing / releasing books and art and spend less time recording / touring.

saw them playing a set of heavy psych last year (or maybe the year before....), can and hawkwind covers. gen was in a fucking loony mood that night.

hamburger lady INDEED!
