Las influencias de grupos como The Jam, The Who, Vapors, etc inclinan su sonido hacia el power pop (introduciendo el uso de esta ‘etiqueta’) y se acercan al movimiento mod de Barcelona. Actuando en las pocas salas de Barcelona y provincia durante el año 1981. Destacan los conciertos en el antiguo Zeleste y en Magic, compartiendo cartel con grupos del momento como Los Rebeldes, Loquillo, Sprays o C-Pillos, que casi siempre acaban en fiestas.
Ese año graban unas maquetas y las pasean por la mayoría de emisoras de radio de la zona. Las actuaciones se suceden y tienen su apogeo cuando telonean a Ian Dury en la Festa de Treball en Montjuic en el mes de septiembre.
Siguen tocando por Barcelona aunque sin disco, siendo considerados uno de los mejores exponentes de la que se llamó 'nueva ola' catalana. Mientras, el movimiento mod va en aumento, con la aparición de nuevas formaciones como Brighton64 con los que actúan más de una ocasión. Flirtean con discográficas sin resultados, en el 82 deciden grabar el single ‘Chica del metro’, estrenando el sello Flor y Nata Records, pionero en la escena independiente catalana. El diseño de la portada lo realiza Manolo García, que en ese momento estaba en Los Rápidos. El disco aparece en marzo y rápidamente agota su tirada inicial, colocándose en la 2ª posición del ranking ‘Los 33 de Radio3’ del programa ‘Esto no es Hawai’ de Jesús Ordovás, líder de la audiencia independiente nacional.
En mayo viajan a Madrid para grabar uno de los primeros ‘video-clips’ de la época para un especial del programa ‘Pista Libre’ de TVE. De este programa se extrajo el LP ‘Locos por la Música‘. Aprovechan este viaje para realizar visitas a los programas de radio de Ordovás, Juan de Pablos, ...
En julio de ese mismo año y sin tiempo para más, el grupo se despide en el macrofestival Badarock de Badalona para cumplir con el entonces obligatorio servicio militar. Aún consiguen reunirse en diciembre en un corto permiso y graban lo que será su último documento sonoro: una maqueta de 4 temas producida en poco tiempo y con escasos medios y en la que muestran un sonido más agresivo. En esos días realizan una última actuación en la sala Metro de Barcelona.
A la vuelta de la ‘mili’ las cosas han cambiado, las nuevas influencias musicales de sus miembros los hace encerrar en el local de ensayo. De esta manera comienzan a experimentar nuevos caminos y deciden dar por finalizada la etapa de Telegrama.

Un dia normal
Telegrama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
LA PARODIA DEL ROCKSTAR….
Un dia normal me invitaron otra vez a tomarme un trago mas….
Con gente que no veia desde los 90….
Como siempre, los mismos cuentos..
Cometiste el crimen que hace tiempo…queries hacer…
Hasta vimos peliculas de adulto…
Se quito el anillo, jugamos a sentirnos como ninos…
Hoy buscaste una escusa perfecta…
Cometiste el crimen que hace tiempo…queries hacer…
Nunca fuimos a cenar…
Yo no tengo tu telefono..
Hoy me gustas..
Manana me da igual…
.Pero creo que dejaste..
el reloj de tu mama
"Un dia normal" by Telegrama is a song that satirizes the life of a rock star, presenting a parody of their excessive lifestyle and shallow relationships. The lyrics depict a scene where the singer is invited to have a drink with old acquaintances from the 90s. They engage in the same old conversations, asking each other about their current lives and accomplishments. The singer reveals that they got married, graduated, hid from the world, and now find themselves in this situation.
The song then shifts to a particular day where the singer's love interest seeks an excuse to commit a crime they have been wanting to do for a long time. They spend the day together, even watching adult movies and temporarily forgetting about their responsibilities and roles as adults. The love interest takes off their ring, and they engage in a game of pretending to be carefree like children.
The lyrics suggest that the singer and their love interest never went out to dinner before, indicating a lack of genuine connection and personal investment in their relationship. The lines "I don't have your phone number. Today I like you. Tomorrow, I don't care. But I think you left your mom's watch," imply a superficial bond with the love interest, where emotions and commitment are fleeting.
Through these lyrics, Telegrama portrays the rock star as a symbol of excess, superficiality, and empty relationships. The song sheds light on the hollowness that can exist behind the glamorous façade of fame and highlights the shallow interactions and lack of depth that can be present within certain social circles.
