THE TALE OF TELE V. CHEESEBURGER

BIOGRAPHY BIOGRAPHY BIOGRAPHY BIOGRAPHY

A mystic at heart, Tele embraced at a young age a love for the mind expansive arts and a desire to follow the great "madmen" of our world. After refuting his birth name, Tele V. Cheeseburger was born into endless circumstance, an entity that was free to create and communicate naturally through the gridwork of the arts. A self taught artist, musician, producer, and philanthropist, Tele "Veggie" Cheeseburger specializes in understanding and overstimulating the human condition. His songs create pragmatic tension, silence your anxieties, give you nightmares, drop a hope bomb, send you into oblivion, help you and your friends have fun and most importantly laugh in the stupid face of life and the people who just don't seem to "get it." 
Currently recording in his studio, The Borelandome Stratosphere, with his band, The Bluetooth Banned (a ragtag team of true-blues pounding the pulp out), Tele meticulously writes, records, edits, produces, ponders and fixes all the craziness of his scrambled thoughts for his upcoming 6th release "Barter Crystals/Explorations," a raucous journey through an alternate universe where currency is obsolete and exploration is inevitable. 
On Telethon Veginald Cheeseburger's "Him & Her Hymns" EP, Tele deconstructs the synth sounds of Pink Floyd, gum-pop, windchimes, and tells your parents to shove it. In other EP news, Tele released a split cassette to accompany a tour with Portland, OR's The Ocean Floor. The premise of the split was to mimic the stripped down nature of the tour. Choosing recordings that could be represented from a one person perspective. Along with this tour EP, Tele had just finished his third full length "Hydrophonia," a hi-fi trip into modernica, in which he experiments with (get this!) clean sounding recording, neo-tribalism, euro-pop, and Wendy Carlos-ism.
His second full length album,"Future Frontier" is loosely based on the writings and/or ramblings of prophetic time traveler John Titor, who warns the world of a soon coming new American Civil War and a brief but powerful World War III. The album, set in 2015, depicts a savage and explosive future tonally, while the lyrics reflect on a world once enjoyed and provide situational remedy for "running to the end of the earth." 
His debut release, "Beach Party Blast/Quasi Immaculate Deception", is a more light-hearted exposé, ranging from the sounds of calm, distant spirits to the jumpy mischievous nature of poltergiests. Tele, operating under the pseudonym Tele & The Ghost of Our Lord for the project, claims that during the last few days of recording sessions, he was possessed by a ghost of the past, present, and future, who pushed him to finish the album under excruciating conditions and unleash the masterpiece online for free immediately after mixing. Upon completion of the ghosts task, Tele surfaced groggy but more masterful than ever. And while he still holds a grudge with the ghost for leaking the album on the internet, Tele's official comment was "Meh... It's no big deal. The Ghost rips on guitar and it's a pretty top notch record. Plus, he played everything while I get all the credit and the royalty checks! What an idiot!"
