Telecom Named Time Magazine Person Of The Year
Eeny-meeny-myney-mo, TELECOM-play-kick-ass-rock-show! If-you-holler-let-'em-go, marvel-at-bitchin'-guitar-solo......s! That's right, to launch Melbourne's newest (and from what we hear, the bestest ever in the history of the eardrum) venue Exile on Smith Street, this Friday night, December 22 at 9PM TELECOM will play a rock show supporting TIGER BY THE TAIL, who are also launching their new CD. For clues on where this new venue will be and how to get there, this enigma can be unwrapped by looking carefully at old Inpress Magazines and seeing where Clem in fact leans AWAY from Jesus, demonstrating that the Holy Grail is in fact in Collingwood. Or, just look at the above text. Or read the next sentence. It's in Smith Street, Collingwood, number 125.
In some last exciting pieces of news for the year, TELECOM's debut EP Modern Adventures recently headed a list of top 10 Australian non-label releases for 2006, as put together by Ryan Egan, host of RRR's Local and/or General. And today TELECOM was featured on the informative Sydney-based Australian music blog The Sandwich Club.
So what better way to say "I Love You" this holiday season than with a Modern Adventures CD and/or a spatula?
Best wishes for the holiday season and a safe 2007,
Sy Greenblum
President, Spatula City

Band Camp This Saturday, Headline Offers Three Meanings
TELECOM are all about wearing sunglasses on stage. Although it has been tried before, it tends to look a bit poncy when you're inside and the only people in the audience are the mixer and some random drunk dancing. So we say "Hallelujah-readers-of-print-media-and-its-various-affiliates!", because TELECOM are playing The BAND CAMP Festival!! Outside! We think!
That's right, TELECOM headline along with DYNAMO, THE SPECIMENS, DELORIS, KAMIKAZE TRIO as well as a host of kick-ass others this Saturday at Opoeia in the Great Ottway National Park, Airley's Inlet. And by headline, we mean 'Play at 10PM' which probably negates the whole wearing-sunnies-on-stage idea. Will they or won't they? And will this be THE festival to attend this summer? (Have you seen the line-up for the BDO?) These questions amongst others can be answered for only $40, which includes a whole weekend of good times, sunshine, fine wines (read: beer) and no tramlines for at least 100km.
Tickets available NOW from Missing Link and Polyester Records Fitzroy.

So make sure you tell Mulva, Celeste, Kest, Rest, Sest, Hest, Aretha, Bovary, Gipple, Loleola and Joseph Puglia.

PBS Takes Over The Tote, Small Oil-Rich Nations To Follow
TELECOM, who never playa-hate, are gonna celebrate and congratulate the new release from PBS/I Love Records "LIVE AT STUDIO FIVE" by being part of pretty much the best line-up EVER in the History Of Music That Gets Played In Pubs This Thursday. That's right, EVEN, THE CA$INOS and TELECOM, all on the one bill, all at The Tote, all on Thursday night (8PM), all for just $10 ($7 for PBS subscribers). "LIVE AT STUDIO FIVE", featuring 16 tracks from local, national and international artists -- including TELECOM's "Bermuda Triangle" -- will be available for purchase on the night, and for the uninitiated, this scribe can tell you that it KICKS SERIOUS ASS. Especially Track 4. Meanwhile, PBS will be broadcasting "Legless on the Wireless" LIVE and free from the front bar from 5PM - 10PM, including an interview with TELECOM at 5.15PM on Andrew Yule's Drive Thru.
And if that wasn't enough, the following night at the Espy Front Bar, TELECOM help KAMIKAZE TRIO launch their new EP French Lick with HOSS and THE BOWERBIRDS. With so much highly-charged-and-moderately-sexual-non-hip-hop-related ROCK on offer, we will surely understand if a pandemic of pleasure-overload-itis breaks out across the city.
Yours,
All manner of excitement

Telecom To Make Left-Over Poverty and Daylight-Savings Hour History
When TELECOM gets to the bottom they go back to the top of the slide. That's pretty much where they like to turn and go for a little ride. They will do this -- without the aid of a slide -- this Saturday October 28th 11PM at HELTER SKELTER Dream Nightclub, 229 Queensberry Street, Carlton, Melbourne's newest Late-Night-Rock-Party-Night (TELECOM are scheduled to hit the stage and wind their clocks forward an hour at 2AM, so make sure you are there at 1 to see them perform at 3, carry the 2 minus the 4 = ROCK).
Unfortunately though, there are impoverished communities in this world who don't even have slides to go back to the top of, so on Sunday, October 29 at 3PM TELECOM will also be playing the Trash and Treasure charity fundraiser at the Tote, with all funds raised going towards aiding South African Community Development. As well as live music, there will be a market, a bake sale and a BBQ (with veggie options).
We can confirm that Charles Manson will NOT be let out to support either event; he'd just get ideas and nobody wants that, except maybe Dennis Wilson. In his place will be, on Saturday night at Dream: International Karate and Dog With Wheels, and on Sunday at the Tote: the Cheats, the Kissingers and Blackchords, all wild and dangerous 'Rock Show Performance Types'.
So anyone wanting a ride that is scary, thrilling and most likely causes you to vomit through sheer exhaultation AND helps end world poverty would be advised to attend.
Blisters on your fingers,
Sir Paul McCartney MBE, OBE, AVO

TELECOM are brewing something special for their Friday, August 18 EP launch at Ding Dong Lounge -- a full-flavoured Canadian pilsner which reviewers are calling "brisk", "refreshing" and "hangover free". That’s right, TELECOM-brand beer will be part of the merchandise shenanigans, along with fridge magnets, show bags and free hand-stamps at the launch of the band’s debut EP Modern Adventures.
Word around the water cooler is that the launch will be filmed for JTV. So circle the date on your calendar, get a cooler haircut and pull out your brightest fluorescent T-shirt because, "Look ma! There’s a possibility I might be on TV sometime in the future". Joining TELECOM will be The Suits, The Cheats and (the) Muscles.

Hand of God Mends After Alleged Ball Handling
After recovering from a hand injury some say was caused by his girlfriend being out-of-town for a night, guitarist Nick TELECOM is said to be "heavily hopped up" and "swearing repeatedly under his breath" in preparation for Week 3 of the TELECOM Tote Wednesday Night Residency. This week sees not only country-blues newcomers Dog With Wheels supporting, and a special cover being SHOUTed TO THE TOP of the setlist (and by TOP we mean somewhere in the middle) but also Free Greg TELECOM Badges for the first 30 payers featuring artwork from the soon-to-be-released Modern Adventures EP, an EP which last week had Inpress's Singled Out column using the terms "natty, pleasant surprise, ace, excellent, in thrall, in heaven", though these terms were not used sequentially, and to be fair have possibly been taken entirely out of context.
And then on Saturday night get on down to The Espy Lounge Bar for more mutual admiration with TELECOM, Souls on Board and Merle Morris performing a different type of self-abuse, the sort that involves the performance of ROCK in front of sweaty St. Kildians.
Regards,
Malcolm "I would've wiped the blood off Syd's knife myself" McLaren

Telecom Publicise Public Show At Public Bar
TELECOM play shows, in front of audiences, and describe themselves as "makers of music." They do this at bars and pubs, where people go to drink and hear the aforementioned sounds. When the guitarist plays many notes in a row, the audience usually goes "Yes! Yes! Yes! This rocks!". This is called a solo. And when the drummer hits with sticks the round 'drum-type' things, the audience goes "Check it out Dude: This Band Is Tight!" And when the singer says something into the microphone in a melodic way, the audience goes "Wow... Just listen to the depth inherent in the marriage of music and words!" This is called singing.
If all this just confuses you no end, then make sure you're at The Public Bar TONIGHT to have it demonstrated personally for you. Also teaching lessons that one soon won't forget will be the highly-educated Noiseradio and the highly-decorated Major Major. Now pull up your socks, tuck in that shirt and meet my behind the bike sheds with a packet of PJ 20's.
With only appropriate love,

After D-azzling all at the Espy Free Kick competition, D-elighting Triple J, RRR and FBi (with their soon-to-be-released debut EP Modern Adventures) and D-emystifying civilisation's beginnings with a single guitar solo, it may seem to some like TELECOM have run out of 'D-escribing' words that start with D. (We're told that that's called a 'verb', children.) Well, don't deny the denizens because dumbasses denounce their donuts to demand more dubious rock, with dented drums! Decked out next to TELECOM in their debutante dresses at the Espy this Friday will be the decadent Kamikaze Trio and the delicous Kids From Russia.

TELECOM has been quite quiet of late, having been away, FAR away, in places that resist explanation and defy expectation. They have mingled with the trees, touched the hand of God, drunk generously from the Goblet of Warmth and cracked the ancient Code of Love. But what does all this signify? Well, it means they will be playing a show Saturday June 3rd at Weekender at Laundry. Supporting, or under-headlining if you will, will be rock's answer to John Holmes: THE CHEATS. Nothing Sexual. $1 Pots and Champagne 9 - 10PM. $8 Entry. DJs Steve Wide + Friends will follow the bands.

Also in a rare move, management will be offering 'Mile High Service' in the alley round the corner, behind the dumpster and next to the broken glass, nothing sexual.

Shot to the Heart and Dick's to Blame, TELECOM Give Headlines A Bad Name
With the Free World now safe from the quail evil-doers, TELECOM and, to a fictional extent, Vice President Dick Cheney would like to inform you that all available intelligence suggests that there is a Weekender show of MASS ROCK DESTRUCTION at Ding Dong this Saturday night. Joining the rock band that's favoured in a recent poll by 9 out of 10 Marines as the band with the best music to "blow sh*t up to", WINDOW, will be the Patriotic and Para-Military, the Existential and Expediential, the Standers To and Seekers Of Attention, The All-American* Purveyors of PUNCH -- TELECOM.
This is a war for patriots, and in a post-9/11 world, word from the Oval Office is that those not in attendance will be shot in the face with a high powered rifle, accidentally on purpose -- nothing sexual.

Telecom Promise Nuddy, Deliver Nada
TELECOM continue their long and lusty love affair with Ding Dong with a wild and sleazy show this Friday night, February 17 at 9PM. Partly to celebrate the recent installation of the Jägermeister tap (thanks largely to Darren "I brought back Jäger" TELECOM who was reportedly the 1st person EVER to suggest "Jäger AND Coke") and also in part because of the deep lust TELECOM have for the 'Dong, this WILL be a no-holds-barred display of love and affection.
Also getting in on the orgy are Love Of Diagrams, Children Collide and Talkshow Boy, who as you read this are all greeting their fluffers and icing their areola. However for legal reasons, management must confirm that this show contains NIL NUDITY, and all sexual innuendo is implied only, and will merely be illustrated through ROCK. If this disappoints, there is always the Crazy Horse Theatre down the street, ya sicko.
With Lust,
