Telefon Tel Aviv was formed in 1999 by Charles Cooper and Joshua Eustis, with their first album released in the fall of 2001 to positive reviews. In 2002, the group released an EP on the Hefty Records Immediate Action label. In 2004, the duo released their second full-length album, and a compilation album of remixes appropriately titled Remixes Compiled in 2007.

The group released its third full length album on January 20, 2009 on the BPitch Control label. Immolate Yourself peaked at #17 on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart.[1]

Death of Charles Cooper

On January 22, 2009, Eustis announced on the group’s MySpace blog that Charles Cooper had died. The information also appeared on the band’s website: ”Charles Wesley Cooper III / April 12, 1977 - January 22, 2009”. Two CBS2 Chicago articles about Cooper’s death specify that he went missing on January 21 before being found dead by suicide,[2][3] news which would be later denied by Joshua Eustis.[4]

On January 30, 2009, Eustis posted on the group’s MySpace blog that all tour plans have been cancelled and the future of the band is uncertain.[5]

On March 22, 2009, Eustis posted on the group’s MySpace blog that he will perform on stage with a close friend of the group, Fredo Nogueira. [6]

On July 22, 2009, Eustis posted on the group’s MySpace in order to clarify some rumours about Charles’ death, stating that three autopsy reports ruled it wasn’t a suicide but possibly an accidental mix of sleeping pills and alcohol.[7]

Louisiana Mourning, an EP by fellow Chicagoan and friend Benn Jordan, is dedicated to Charles Cooper.
