TÜLIPS

<a href="spotify:artist:1WCm8CXsOSCFpSWqDNDn65" data-name="Taleen Kali">Taleen Kali</a> &amp; Teddy Bloom&#39;s friendship blossomed as they sent each other mixtapes between L.A. and Chicago. When Taleen moved back home in 2011 the two started jamming, blending her love of goth/shoegaze and Teddy&#39;s pop-riot sensibilities to create TÜLIPS: dreamy, punky noise pop with a riot grrrl bent. Soon after, they found a drummer and began to play local DIY and zine shows, Taleen and Teddy trading off on guitar and bass with Travis Barnes on the drums.
