1. A Japanese electronic rock quartet formed in 2005.
The Telephones are Akira Ishige (石毛輝) - vocals, guitar, keyboard, Ryohei Nagashima (長島涼平) - bass & chorus, Nobuaki Okamoto (岡本伸明 ) - keyboard & chorus, and Seiji Matsumoto (松本誠治) - drums.
After playing their first show together in January of 2005, The Telephones began to ring with resounding potential. The electric, electronic rock quartet released their first demo in July of the same year and established their official line up in August. With their roster set, The Telephones released their second demo in February ‘06 and followed things up with a short summer tour around Kanto.
The band finished 2006 with a bang by playing at year-end events at both Shimokitazawa ERA (下北沢ERA) and Shinjuku MARZ (新宿MARZ).
The Telephones released their debut mini album, We are the handclaps ep. on JULY RECORDS in April ‘07 and have continued to rock clubs with their disco and new wave-inspired rock anthems.
July 2009 saw the release of The Telephones’ first full album, Dance Floor Monsters. The debut single from this album, Monkey Discooooooo, was in heavy rotation on MTV Japan.
2. A New York-based indie-rock quarter formed in 2001, currently touring the U.S.
The Telephones are Jesse Adelman on vocals and guitar, keyboardist Bradley Albert, bassist Anton Kreisl and drummer Mike Reed.
The Brooklyn-based indie-rock quartet established in 2001, has been compared to 70s rock groups Faces and The Babys. Tracks from their 2009 EP “Volume 1,” a follow-up to fan-favorite, full-length album “Fight Night At Rodeo Dodo,” feature Adelman’s unforgettable voice, belting clever lyrics atop twangy tight licks, producing a larger than life, arena-rock sound.
