Telekinesis

Today, I had the pleasuring of witnessing Telekinesis's free show at the UW lawn. Let me tell you, I'm blown away!! Despite the dreary weather of plummeting cats and dogs, I was hypnotized. Wet, uncomfortable, cold, but absolutely addicted.

Telekinesis is a local Seattle band best represented as dreamy electropop. With Micheal Lerner (aka Mr. nuts and bolts of the project) matching his soft vocals with sunny acoustic riffs and beats, it's impossible not to fall in love.

So far Telekinesis is relatively hush hush, but they're gaining fame. They have a self titled album out, which according to the music community, is all the rave. Keep your eyes open, Telekinesis is definitely an up and coming band to watch.
