The Telescopes

BIOGRAPHY

The Telescopes are an all-embracing concern which began in 1987 - the only constant, being sole composer and instigator, Northumbrian born, Stephen Lawrie. The band's line-up is in constant flux: there can be anywhere between 1 and 20 members on a recording.

The Telescopes' music has constantly pushed its own boundaries. The music overlaps many genres following its own inspiration-led course. Time has shown The Telescopes' music not only withstands repeated listening but also reveals something new whenever one ventures between the grooves. It has been described by the music press as "more a revolution of the psyche than a revolution of the sidewalk"; a thread consistent throughout a body of work spanning over 30 years.
