Founded in Freiburg, Germany, indie rock group Tele formed as the 20th century gave way to the 21st. Eventually moving their base to Berlin, the group released its first album Tausend und ein Verdacht in 2000. Tele released the album themselves, and soon signed with independent label Tapete Records, who re-released the debut, as well as their 2003 EP simply called Tele. The band had built up enough of a reputation by this time to garner attention, some of which came from the major Universal, who signed the band soon after. In 2004, Tele released the album "Wovon Sollen Wir Leben", followed up by "Wir Brauchen Nichts" in 2007. The band landed a high-profile tour spot in 2006, playing a number of shows in numerous nations in Subsaharan Africa, on behalf of the Goethe Institute. After extensive touring and the release of Jedes Tier in 2009, they took a little break in 2010. They will be back in 2011. We still have 2011, right?
