The Lonely Forest and Telekinesis, The Globes

Show is All Ages

The Lonely Forest: Establishing themselves in 2006 as a prime young band to watch as winners of the highly coveted EMP Sound Off! Competition, The Lonely Forest, from the small town of Anacortes, WA, have spent the last few years experimenting with a variety of sounds - from pop-rock to piano driven ballads about a fictional character in the future, the band had the press exclaiming they'd "created a new world of their own, an alternate dimension" and are "poised to be one of Seattle's next breakout acts".

Telekinesis: On record, Michael Lerner is the sole member of Telekinesis, more or less. He writes, sings and plays the songs. His love of Japan knows no bounds, though he's never been. He's a fantastic drummer and a fearless singer. And he does not look back willingly.

Michael's songs are ridiculously immediate, and he delivers them with blinding velocity. His approach to music isn't unlike those spikes at the rental car place: Backing up deflates the tires, and not in a pleasant way.
