Come out and support the Teleco January 10th at The Elevens, where Round One of the Third Annual Happy Valley Showdown is going down at 9 p.m.
We will be performing with battling our friends The Frills and Tidwell's Treasure, along with many others. Mystery cover songs are required of all contestants.
11.20.2009: hopy hollydays
Since it's almost Thanksgiving, we here at The Telephone Co. are working on a couple new songs for your festive purposes.
More communications to come later.
In the meantime, if you are considering a gift for someone you love this holiday season, look no further than the 700 Club...
11.17.2009: deja vu all over again
The TeleCo. got the chance to share the stage with two outstanding Hampshire acts last night at The Elevens in NoHo...
The (multi-headed) Bubonic Souls.
And Leisure Colony.
Besides our recent live catalog, we played "Big River" by Johnny Cash, along with a couple new songs that we haven't christened with names yet.
10.18.2009: the elevens (Northampton,MA)
The Telephone Company took the stage at the The Elevens in Northampton tonight, with The FutureNows and The Frills.
Here Myles seems to be giving his bass a massage.
Big Mountain Top Jones on drums.
And the happy ending.
8.28.2009: El Cid does not rhyme with "acid"
On August 28th at 9 p.m., The Telephone Co. will be playing at the El Cid Lounge in Ludlow, MA.
We will be opening for Doug Ratner and the Watchmen, four very distiguished young gentlemen whom hail from western massachusetts.
I've never been to the El Cid Lounge, but I can only imagine that it looks something like the distorted photo above.
There will be a $3 cover at the door.
There will be lions, there will be tigers, there will be bears... In fact, we may even cover Jenny Lewis.

Real fast.
4.5.2009: waldo
A whole bunch of Waldoes just walked by me. And I hear we have a show with Outer Stylie tonight. Check it out.
3.28.2009: sweet baby lou
It is always a special occasion when Sweet Baby Lou and the Reverends of Funk of 91.1 WMUA come a-callin'
In what could only be described as a beautiful clusterfuck, we packed in to the WMUA studios in order to help celebrate their 40th anniversary in true style.
We were joined by the legendary "Motown Man" Benny, Tom Van Der Pol (of Only Vikings), Jeremiah Montgomery Thompson, The Futurenows and a whole assortment of others.
When you combine many fruits and juices together, you can create a delicious smoothie.
Check out these choice live cuts, raw and tender: "You Can Only Save Yourself," and the oh-so new track "Cabbage."
Below is "Question Mark" in video form, and other thingies from the evening. Enjoy.
2.28.2009: alt partay
Fun was had by all, praise the good lord.
A thank you to the legendary Kameron Moore for pulling together quite a thinger.
Trivia Night a.k.a. Jesus Virus 2012 put on one hell of an interlude.
Let them be merry.
2.12.2009: friday the thirteenth - seven os
Friday the 13th, one of our favorite days of the year, brings forth a concert to our humble hands.
Alas, we are again playing at the Seven Os. May our cups runneth over with Kenny Chesney. Sunderland. Sunderland.

we are attracted to the flames
just like moths, all the same
