Telephone touring in support of recent release

TELEPHONE, Portland’s own synth-pop outfit, forged by former Dandy Warhol founder Eric Hedford, hits the road with SUFFRAJETT, Chicago’s unstoppable force of nature. TELEPHONE launched their first full-length album AUTOMATIC released June 19 via Los Angeles and Chicago-based independent record label Cobra Music (distributed by Fontana Distribution).

“I can’t wait to get out and tour this record. We spent a year making it, and went through a lot: band members quit, we fired people, we had fun, drama, lots of stress, and questioned whether the band would go on. But, after all of it, we made a record I am proud of,” remarks Hedford.

Hypnotized by the devastatingly provocative front woman Simi, and described as raw, low-fi Afro-punk, garage glam, art punk, mental rock, garage rock and grunge hair metal, it’s clear that SUFFRAJETT has carved out a place that’s entirely their own and defies description. This innovative gang of delinquents has earned an abundance of rabid accolades from critics and fans alike, including wide critical acclaim for their latest CD Black Glitter.
