Teedo

Teedo, because they used to state of Blondie, is an organization, although it is also singer Theodore Bilecky’s nickname. The vocalist/songwriter produced the Brooklyn-based music group in 2004, placing out a debut record, Luvatomic, afterwards that year independently ICBM label. Possessing a tone of voice that moves in the archness of Television’s Tom Verlaine towards the camp extravagance of T. Rex’s Marc Bolan, Bilecky mementos an upgrading of 1970s glam rock and roll it doesn’t descend in to the goofiness in the centre of various other neo-glam works like Mika, Scissor Sisters, as well as the Darkness: Teedo remember Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel or “Killer Queen”-period Queen, not really Gary Glitter and Dirt. (Denim, the short-lived ’90s glam action began by ex-Felt head Lawrence Hayward, is normally another touchstone, thanks a lot in large component to Bilecky’s virtually identical vocal design.) Pursuing Luvatomic, some bandmember turnover resulted in a lengthy hold off before Teedo reappeared using the EP YOU HAPPEN TO BE My Girl within the springtime of 2008, having a fresh long term lineup of Bilecky on vocals and acoustic guitar, Michael Kratzer on acoustic guitar, Saeko Terano on synthesizers, Oweinama Biu on bass, and Charles Davis on drums. The four-song YOU MIGHT BE My Young lady (in fact three songs along with a “Radio Edit” from the name monitor) was planned to get a full-length follow-up later on in 2008.
