Telematique is Aurisha Smolarski and Somer Waters, a violin/cello duo who take their "classical players gone eclectic" styles to create an ambient yet provocative chamber duet. They construct live loops of violin, cello and add dreamy vocals, often sung in French, energy from the audience and surrounding environment to weave a tapestry of sound. Interactive live visuals are projected onto Aurisha and Somer, thus luring the audience into a full visual and auditory experience.
They perform at local venues, art events and multi-media events around LA such as "Not A Cornfield" in conjunction with their "Day of The Dead" event as well as their closing party/show. They have also performed at a Lili Lakich's, a prominent Neon artist in Los Angeles, open house art exhibit as well as the Bicycle Kitchen's benefit bash. They have done short European tours where they played in Paris, France as well as in Poznan,Poland. They performed and composed music for dance performance "Bound" a solo dance piece by Sarah Elgart at the Electric Lodge and performed at the C.I.C.L.E event "Life Can be So Car Free" at The Los Angeles Historic Park. They have most recently performed at The Hammer Museum in conjunction with "Bike Night at the Hammer" event.

Then make that imp-wards peripatetic journey to Pasadena this Saturday and watch us confuse a bunch of drunkards with strange sounds and words.
That's right! This Saturday Antique Imp we'll be playing at the Old Town Pub in Pasadena. We go on at 11:30 and will be playing deep into the darkest nether regions of the night, aka for as long as we feel like.
This show marks our 1-year anniversary as a band (20 shows in one year--weee!), so it's sure to be a special night for us. Come on by and take part in the love.
Tix are $8 at the door, though if you plan on attending, send us a message and we'll do our damndest to get you on the guest list. Empty slots are running thin quickly though, so best to RSVP as soon as possible.
The Old Town Pub is located at 66 N. Fair Oaks Ave, Pasadena CA 91103, blocks away from where the 710 and the 134 meet.
Unfortunately we don't have a flier to give you at this time, so here's a picture of Dick Cheney as a baby. As you can tell, he was a huge fan of Antique Imp from even a young age.
Hope you're luving this last little bit of summer. Have you been out to The Airliner yet? We've been playing there lately & are really digging that punky East Side vibe. We've got a show there again on the 8th & really want you to come out to see what we do live. Music is always better in person. Rock & Roll!
Hellllo... & happy weekend! We just got all of our songs up on itunes, so now you can take us with you everywhere. Aren't you just thrilled?
Peace...
