Guitar in one hand, synth in the other, laptop somewhere in the middle - TELEVANDALS, I write sounds that insinuate words. Sometimes there is a mic as well. Somewhere in the mix are planned world takeovers, dissimination of social dissent, Sweaty slutty dancing to synthesized beats, small shows by bands not yet corrupted by 360 deals, fashion trends that offend the general public, poignant writers and starving
artists, misunderstood concepts and disillusioned citizens, hot nights at basement
parties,
random
adventures that go to far, juvenile vandalism, public intoxication, screaming, destruction, corruption, genocide, racism, hatred, the CCCP in a new and more socially acceptable form, overarmed and undereducated populations, but maybe a little hope and just enough determination to change all of this.
