Telenovela Star

A simple ad on Craigslist brought Telenovela Star (T*) together in Spring 2004. Their complex backgrounds and musical interests instantly clicked, creating a sound that immediately appealed to all three. They share a deep passion for merging genres: loud indie rock, hip/hop, r&b, and syncopated jazz rhythms, under catchy, smart, angry and at times sad melodies. In December 2005 Telenovela Star released their first record, a self-titled EP. Within a few weeks of the release, the intense, upbeat track "The Car Song" was selected as theme music for "Beyond the Break", a new drama on The N! channel about competitive female surfers. The show aired June 2006 and has continued into a 2nd season. The song was also included on "The N Soundtrack" released in Fall 2006. Their current full-length release "Love, Lust, Sci-Fi & Monsters", is a wildly diverse follow-up to their EP and will be avialable July of 2007. FACTOID: Members of T* have lived in Transylvania, Greece, Boston, Baton Rouge, Tokyo, Trinidad & Tobago, Washington DC, Stockholm, Hell's Kitchen, The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens.
