Tone Rodent live with THE TELESCOPES(UK) with False Moves and Magic City 8pm $8
The UK's finest Space Rock/Noise Act's First US Shows in 4 years!
The Telescopes were formed in 1987 by Stephen Lawrie and could best be described as a noise/space rock band - the Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and Spacemen 3 being influences and contemporaries.
The Telescopes started out peddling a fearsome noise which owed much to the path laid earlier in the decade by the Jesus & Mary Chain. Their first release was a flexidisc shared with Loop and sold with the Sowing Seeds fanzine, after which came two temperamental singles on Cheree records followed by a deal with the American What Goes On label. Unfortunately, after a further brace of singles and one album in 1989, What Goes on succumbed to bankcruptcy, leaving the Telescopes to battle for the rights to their own songs and sign to Creation Records.
The Telescopes Spring USA Tour sees them stop in Ft. Worth, Austin, Memphis, St. Louis and Chicago.
In St. Louis they will be joined by local stalwarts Tone Rodent, False Moves and Magic City
