about

TELEPHONE! were essentially an electro-kitsch, valley-girl-ridden episode of the Love Boat, but on local college radio and in venues like First Avenue Nightclub, Bryant Lake Bowl Theatre and more.

Live crew were: Lolly Pop, Bubblez, Mimi Cherry, turntablist/MC Tony Dosen, touring MC/turntablist Shawn Shotzawiski and towards the outfit's conversion to Lolly Pop & The Couture Club, Jeff Sherman. Live, the act featured rotating vocalists, evolving plot lines, as well as dancers (many of whom transitioned to Lolly Pop & The Couture Club).

Originally released on May 20th, 2003, the *69 EP lead-off single was Life On Hold, which also appeared on TC Electropunk Volume 1. Paris In The Rain was later featured in the Wing Young Huie exhibit, LAKE STREET U.S.A.

Core band members were:
Tony Dosen
Nadine Light
Shawn Shotzawiski
Jeff Sherman
