Clinker are a band based in London featuring two core members, Peter Jordan and Tomoko Matsumoto.
Music obsessives, they are influenced by a wide range of artists….too many to pick their faves…but their sound is a mash of everything, coming out as a Psychedelic Shoegazey Dance Pop hybrid that sounds really refreshing and vital.
They have to make music, it’s in their DNA. Everyday is spent creating. It’s their life.
Together with additional live musicians, they are currently playing regularly around the London circuit (including recent gigs at Islington o2 Academy and 93 Feet East) bringing something new every time, with gigs also being lined up outside the capital.

"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." - Bluesbunny.com

Hi guys! Thanks for adding and thanks for nice words on your blog about our group (Sunlight Service GRoup), Hope you had fun as well, you were great!!Take care, Zuza
Sorry I had to leg it, I suddenly got paranoid about train times. I got home ok though. Clinker were really brilliant, and I enjoyed all the other bands as well. I regretted not being able to see them all, or Head Space either.
I hope everything is going well. Sorry I haven’t commented earlier, I had a bit of a nightmarish weekend.
