Telephunken, 17th March 2011, Sounds from Spain showcase, Brush Square, Austin, TX

Telephunken were playing in a tent and the sun had come out, so most of the audience had decided not to be upfront, but were instead enjoying the warmth and a cold Estrella outside. Their sound was beats- and samples-driven party music and one tune opened with the 'Harlem Shuffle' fanfare that House of Pain borrowed for 'Jump Around'). Their Spanish chat between songs was interesting.
