IRC is launching a series of showcases featuring bands performing at the annual San Francisco Noise Pop Festival later this month, and South by Southwest in Austin next month.
First up, we want to let you know about this exciting pop band from Seattle called Telekinesis. They are set to play at the Noise Pop Festival on February 27 along with Ra Ra Riot and Cut Off Your Hands.
Telekinesis also has four sets scheduled at South by Southwest (SXSW) in March. After that, the band will tour with fellow Merge Records’ artists Say Hi through the first week in April.
Even Ben Gibbard and the other Death Cabbies tagged Telekinesis as a “Band to Watch” in 2009 during a guest appearance on Stereogum. We second that, and for damn good reasons.
