- Event Details
- Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin has been playing music in Springfield, Missouri since 1999, when Will Knauer and Philip Dickey met at a Super Bowl party. They came up with their band name shortly after Boris Yeltsin's resignation in the early hours of Y2K. John Robert joined the band in 2001, when he was dorm roommates with Philip at Drury University. Telekinesis is the songwriting vehicle of Michael Benjamin Lerner, whose music splits the difference between summery indie rock and buoyant power pop. Based in Seattle, WA, Lerner handled most of the instrumental duties on his band's debut, Telekinesis!, which was produced by Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla and released in spring 2009. Telekinesis then launched a tour in support of the record, with auxiliary members Chris Staples, David Broecker, and Jonie Broecker filling out the lineup.

TimeOutChicago on Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Telekinesis, The Kickback @ Lincoln Hall
about 1 year agoSomeone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin’s third record opens with co-frontmen John Robert Cardwell and Philip Dickey singing in their similarly comfortable and youthful voices, “We’re going to make it last.” At album’s end, on “Made to Last,” Cardwell laments, “Nothing’s made to last these days.” In between lies a surprisingly touching tale of four dudes dealing with the disappointments of growing up—both in life and in a rock band (with a silly name). more at chicago.timeout.com

Oh My Rockness on Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Telekinesis, The Kickback @ Lincoln Hall
about 1 year agoSeattle's Telekinesis is the one-man power pop project of, well, one man. His name is Michael Benjamin Lerner (though live, this is a band of four) and he writes and sings and plays pretty much all the instruments on his recordings (perhaps to prove to Dave Grohl that he's not the only dude from Seattle that can do that). more at chicago.ohmyrockness.com
