If you’re into Spanish soap operas then Telenovelas are your cup of tea. If your into surf thrash pop then Telenovelas are going to tickle you rock bone. Started last summer by 2 members of Black Swan Green and ex-Dane drummer from Darling Don’t Dance, Telenovelas can co-exist contently in 2 situations. Either holding hands strolling down the beach and reliving memories of Brian Wilson melodies or holding tightly to their fuzz pedals while dancing a little too close to the eye of a hurricane. Either way a strong obsession with Santo and Johnny’s “Sleepwalk” hasn’t stopped them from stepping out from the usual pack of Brooklyn bands and offered Brooklyn a new take on Surfadelia. Look for them to be playing out a lot this summer and working hard to release their first album. – Read Simon Heggie’s interview with the band here.
