Jarvis Square Pottery – Photo by Katje Lilith Sabin – 2019

I am actually at a loss for words this morning. I know, hard to believe.

Our show last night at Jarvis Square Pottery was an amazingly good one. I mean, it was extraordinary pretty much in every way: fabulous crowd, joyous vibe, sterling sound; our opener Lars Von Keist’s performance was captivating and exhilarating, and our band was totally alive in the moment.

Magic really does regularly happen at that gorgeous storefront. We have had many remarkable shows there, this had to be one of the finest. It happened. It really, really happened. If you were there, you know, if not, well, let me just say: it happened! – Jammer

The Telepaths @ Savemore Lounge 05.28.22 – Photo by Carla Hayden

Not many folks know that two bands emerged from the 2005 Black Forest play, “Free Henry Goodbar, Telepath.” It’s true, both WWSP and The Telepaths were little seedlings hurled from the maw of that mother of a mind-bending, fevered, shiny beast play. The bands share a couple members, as well as the same creative spark, and the DIY spirit of just fucking showing up and laying it all on the line, always. Damn the torpedos.

Both bands were on the bill last Saturday at the SaveMore Lounge a “spiffy new dive bar” that turned out to be less spiffy and more dive. Yikes! Carla took this photo. It really does capture the religious devotion and the weird, ballsy mystery of the r&r thing.

Carla writes: Jammer kneeling to the rock gods, humbly honoring his Tele, making some telepathic magic!

Jammer writes: The Telepaths at Savemore, with Telecaster & vocalist Pat McDonald… honoring the gods of garage.

BTW – what a fabulous photo. Pretty iconic. Sort of captures the magic, and the mystical soul of the work we all love to do. – Jammer
