"They are a consistently interesting and intelligent band and should be given plenty of credit for that. In fact, now that I reflect upon it, Clinker have a notable ability to adapt and change just a little bit with each release as if they are echoing, but not following, trends. When they finally get to where they are going musically - not far off, I would presume given the evidence - they will be more than a bit impressive." - The Bluesbunny
== Bio ==
Clinker has been making music since 1999. Originally all recorded by myself (Peter Jordan), its gradually turned into a full four piece band. The early recordings were very rough, due to the lack of technology and knowledge of how to use it.
Now I believe we get a great sound and LIVE we are sounding awesome, thanks to the great musicians/friends that i've managed to gather around me. Their commitment to the cause is unbelievable!
Its quite a varied bag what we do. What is available to listen to here is brand new stuff.
I've recorded 8 albums worth of material as Clinker over the last few years (including the new one "Clinker") and a few more as Opera Dog.
Clinker discography (of sorts) is :

Yes Arkestra as in Sun Ra's Arkestra and the 600 albums or so that Marshall Allen has played on in his 60 something year career in music! Yes I will be at Marshall Allen tonight. I hope your gig goes well and I'd rather see Finnish band Parasite City that an english one called Parasite.....
Seems like we're going to have a loverlee sunny day 2mrw! Yay! I'll text you guys when i'm on my way and perhaps we can meet by the gate opsit Kings Cres Est, near the park keepers cottage, then find our Patch? xXx
There are many icons that even though I dont like there music I respect there talent that got them there so that they might market there personality.
M.J deserves respect in my opinion and its way to easy to use him as some kind of 21st century whipping boy.
Beat up on Jade Goody if u think someone relatively famous has just got there by spin.
M.J could sing, dance, write AND he is on record for giving the most to charity than any other celebrity...unlike Bono he kept his mouth shut about it cos he didnt wanna draw attention to himself through that.
Think we need to find a plot near the loos (I'm not walking for ages like I had to at Dirty Water's Picnic!) and under a tree, so we can keep the food/beers cool.... I'll text you when I leave on Saturday - prob about 1/2ish... xXx
