TELGATE
With a duty to start riots in 6’’ platforms, expect fierce androgyny along with music which is unapologetically queer, loud, and honest from Aggro-Glam band, TELGATE. Their major musical influences include 60s and 70s psychedelia, glam rock, post punk, and riot grrrl. This array of genres mix together to create a dramatic experience catered towards the eccentrics and the glamorous. Paint your lips red and prepare to fall in lust with the queerest side of rock and roll.
Having released ‘Cherrytight’ in 2019, ‘Love Zone’ in 2021, and with plans to record more in the summer of 2022; TELGATE are constantly writing new music to express their emotions. Whether that be anger towards the political system, love of all things queer, or topics they genereally just find funny; the music will always be true to themselves. They are a band that represent the people, especially the queer communities. Trans rights are at the forefront of their fight, and always be. If you’re looking for a place to belong, TELGATE welcomes you with open arms.

Chris (They/Them)

The only thing that moves faster than their fingers is them when it’s time for a cigarette.

Jake (He/Him)
Jake is the bassist for TELGATE. To him, running around on stage and laying those fingers into his bass is what it’s all about. If you catch him doing a stankface, it’ll likely rub off onto you.
