The Telepathic Butterflies take to the stage at Times Change(d) on Friday night to celebrate the late 2023 release of Plan B, its fifth album but first since 2009’s Wow & Flutter!
Heck, it’ll be six years since the local power pop aficionados initially formed by Rejean Richard (guitar/vocals) and Jacques Dubois (drums/vocals) as Mayonnaise, have even played a show.
Named after a passage from Kurt Vonnegut novel Breakfast of Champions, the TBs now include Rob Pachol (guitar/vocals) and Russ Kroeker (bass).
They burst out of the gate in 2001 with Nine Songs (though there were actually 12), which was re-released (with four more songs) a year later by the Rainbow Quartz label as Introducing the Telepathic Butterflies. Songs from a Second Wave followed in 2004, and Breakfast in Suburbia in 2008.
