Telenovelas are a Brooklyn based four piece with a sound that is not easily classified into one cozy genre. Loosely forming in early 2009, the band went through a series of changes first starting off as the solo project of Ritchie San Luis and then evolving into a duo a few months later with help from friend Flemming Laursen. Some songs were written, some people were added and subtracted yet it wasn’t until January 2010 that Telenovelas started to materialize as a project with the addition of Lindsey Ann and San Luis’ long time cohort, Kevin Kahawai. They exchanged ideas, experimented with little noise machines and began working on material loosely based on their not so secret obsession with Santo and Johnny's "Sleepwalk". Rumor has it that they have five different versions in different keys and tempos! They've slowly cultivated a following by playing many local Brooklyn and NYC shows and recently have been featured on blogs such as Unholy Rhythms, Flashlight Tag, Aurora Vibes, Cactus-Mouth, I Guess I’m Floating, Pop Snacking, Rosekohl, Tympanogram, The Music Junkies, L.A.’s Rawk Blog, and NYC’s Deli Magazine. They were also featured on London based Double Denim Records’ daily blog. Adhering to their DIY ethos, all the music you hear was recorded and engineered solely by the members of the band in their rehearsal space and homes. The final mix was done by Ritchie in a cave somewhere in Brooklyn. This is lo-budget hi fi.
