Teleman


I saw Teleman play in a small sweaty club the other evening, where they offered up a faultless set that blended selections from their 2014 début LP 'Breakfast' with the brand spanking new 'Brilliant Sanity'. Now there's a bunch of lads who know a good hook when they write one - and it seems that they just can't help themselves. I grabbed a printed set-list on the way out, complete with additional informative handwritten prompts - 'Rock Flashy' anyone? Here's a bit of 'Fast', some 'Pop Med' and a portion of 'Jammy'.

Seams like you a another great evening watching some bands in small venues. Great post and selections. I was up to post Teleman's Düsseldorf these days but now it's not necessary any more.

Love Teleman. They are a big fave of MrsRobster too. Three members of the band were formally in Pete & The Pirates; I can thoroughly recommend their second and final album 'One Thousand Pictures' if you like Teleman.

I totally agree Robster.

Heard them a couple of times on Mark Riley's show. Very catchy indeed. Sparkly pop for 'now' people? Had the first Pete & The Pirates album once but I like these more. Would I buy their music? Probably not but maybe I'm not in their demographic. I'll give 'em eight out of ten, though.

Catchy pop music indeed Swede, Dusseldorf expecially so.
