Telescreens, a New York four-piece rock band, perform live at Baba Yaga as part of their Why The Lights Flicker North American Tour, supported by Nautics.
Telescreens play Baba Yaga on Friday, October 9, with Nautics opening. It's a stop on their Why The Lights Flicker North American Tour, so they're coming through Seattle as part of a larger run across the continent.
They're a four-piece from New York City: Jackson Hamm on vocals and guitar, Josiah Valerius on keys and synth, Austin Brenner on bass and synth, and Oliver Graf on drums. The sound they're pulling together is a strange one, with The Beatles, Nirvana and Kanye West all listed as influences. It's rock, pop and electronic music fused into high-energy, fast-paced live shows, and Lyrical Lemonade described them as a "genre bending act that infuses rock, pop and electric in a way that simply just works."
That description gives you a sense of what to expect on stage. With two members doubling on synth, the electronic side isn't just a backing track; it's worked into the live performance alongside the guitar and drums. The Beatles and Nirvana sitting in the same set tells you the songs can swing from melodic pop to something heavier and more distorted, and the Kanye West mention points toward the production and the way they build their tracks.
