Tele V.

About Me


INTRO Telethon Veginald Cheeseburger is the midi-haunt-psych-punk-pop journey of a deranged ghost boy left suffering on Earth since the early 1200's. Struggling to cope with the ever-changing world around him, Tele V. (his choice for a more modern adaptation of his name) did the only thing he knew to do. Create. These are his experiments...
OPINIONS
"This is what happens when the lounge singer at Zelda’s local Village Tavern starts trying to mess with the system. Everything was A-OK while the guy threw some Manilow in his Bacharach, but now that he’s heard those Beach Boys and mainlined 80s schlock pop, the denizens of Zelda-land (Mercay Island?) aren’t feeling the milk buzz they used to. Time for the harder stuff?" ~Impose Magazine (click here to read full article)
"The musical offerings included the uncontainable meanderings of Tele V. Cheeseburger (or Telethon Veginald Cheeseburger, if you’re British), one of Matt Kamm’s many noms de guerre, which are related in ways evident only to himself. Kamm is always aglow with the flying sparks of half-formed ideas, but the capricious local artist showed some aptitude for melody as well. You can’t expect anything straightforward from the guy, however. The kid’s neck-deep in the quirk, and his central impulses favor experimentation over fluidity. Any pleasant melodic current his songs had was constantly rippled by his curious sense of mischief, weird shit involving lots of oddball story lines that, again, only he is able to fully follow. Then again, music is only one facet of the multimedia art experience that is Matt Kamm. Besides, who can focus on musical coherence when you’ve also got pornographic comic strips to produce (“Vibrabed”)?" ~ Bao Le-Huu, Orlando Weekly (click here to read full article)
"The final act of the evening, Telethon Veginald Cheeseburger (“The Tele V.” as he’s known on the streets), was not as sonically pleasing as Jordan O’Jordan, but he was easily the most enigmatic character to grace the basement stage. With one-liners like, 'Wang Tang Coconut and Lil’ Jon couldn’t be here tonight. I wish them well wherever they are.' …it’s easy to see why he is the quintessential performer. Supported by Philtholomew Pizza for a few tracks, he continued to surprise with a host of synthesizers, beat boxing, and drumming in addition to his acoustic guitar work ... he makes a musical statement that will soon become the staple of scenesters’ iPods." ~ Onward State (click here to read the full article)
"His bare candor is emblematic of a slow progression toward the real Matthew Kamm. Since he essentially became a solo project, Kamm has admittedly used the Tele character and his “Cheeseburger Adventures” as a kind of cloak, enveloping the albums in a fantasy world of “Wendell” creatures and, in the case of Tele and Big Tie Moldies, a time-traveler here to warn us of World War III. The albums are self-contained meditations on these characters, complete with backstories and continuations. But he says he may be edging closer to a more emotionally naked outing that gets to the heart of who he really is." ~ Justin Strout Orlando Weekly (click here to read the full article)
