Noise Pop
4 12 2007
I discovered Telexx really randomly in Buenos Aires and went to one of their concert a couple weeks ago. (See pix of the concert here). The band was formed in 2003, under the name of Caleco, but had to abandon it for legal reasons. After a couple of band member changes, Telexx is now composed by 5 musicians: drums, 2 electric guitars, 2 girlz singing who also play bass and acoustic guitar. They managed to create a style of their own, with melodies and harmonies that both challenge and comfort the expectation and perception of the listener, never losing the song structure, or the POP defended by the band.
Telexx participated to many festivals in Argentina, including Chicas en Frente! (Chix in Front) event composed by female-led and composed bands, Go to Indie or La Frutilla del Postre, which they are currently touring. They played last year with Boom Boom Kid in Uruguay. American director Dave Markey, who produced 1991: The Year that Punk Broke underlines Telexx as a notorious local talent.
You can listen to some of their tracks (including my personal favourite Artoboi) on their MySpace, here.
