about
George Chadwick a.k.a. Telephone Jim Jesus was born in the small town of New London, New Hampshire, where he would later inevitably be drawn to the two other kids in town with similar artistic appreciations, passage and the bomarr monk. At age 12 Chadwick scammed regular guitar lessons from a childhood friend whose parents were willing to shell out the big bucks for lessons. Together the two of them would later form their first band, PROB ("Pixies Rip Off Band, with a line over the O). It wasn't until his teenage years that he would fatefully re-meet the other two would-be members of restiform bodies, passage (David Bryant) and the bomarr monk (Matt Valerio). Chadwick reacquainted himself by way of Valerio's vast collecton of "underground tapes." Meanwhile, he bonded with Bryant in a failed attempt at reading the bible in order to outwit the religious zealots. Before long, with Chadwick on guitar, Valerio on drums and Bryant on vocals, the trio formed the hardcore band Unfit. Eventually, Unfit dissolved and the group started experimenting with electronic equipment and hip hop, which led to the formation of Restiform Bodies. An essential element in the group, Telephone Jim Jesus is relied upon for much of the group's melodies, effects, distortion and texture, as well as more organic elements, such as bass and guitar. While not recording or performing with passage or restiform bodies, Chadwick has been slowly amassing a solo instrumental debut titled A Point Too Far To Astron
