Telenovela Star–Love, Lust, Sci-Fi & Monsters–Self-Released
“Bristling with hooks and saturated with pure tunefulness, Telenovela Star’s songs play hopscotch with genre and return rock to a place of saucy, sexy fun.” – Edge Boston
In a male-saturated indie-rock world, Telenovela Star shines above the rest. By the cosmic powers of Craigslist and complex yet completely shared musical interests, Hanna Klein (Bass, Vocals), Maggie Argyros (Guitar, Vocals), and Nikkiesha McLeod (Drums, Vocals) formed a band in 2004. Their sophomore release Love, Lust, Sci-Fi and Monsters is as manic as its title, and is a wildly diverse follow-up to their debut. “Fluff” has an analog, gritty guitar drive while “Planet Couckoonuts” flows with a heavy funk forte. Telenovela Star shares musical similarities with The Pixies, PJ Harvey, Broken Social Scene, The Cure, Luscious Jackson, Be Your Own Pet, Veruca Salt. These ladies aren’t afraid to jump from style to style, and they aren’t afraid to be honest.
