  • Bio

    Clinker are a London based DIY band who create a mixture of multi-coloured psychedelia, sing-along pop, head-fucked noise and electric avant-garde music (sometimes in the same song) featuring 2 core members, Pete (Vox, Gtr, Sampler), Tomoko (Back Vox, Gtr, Sampler). Making music since 1999 (mostly just for themselves until 2006), with 17 albums and EPs of musical adventures recorded. Their mixture of influences and attitude, "eat whatever's good music/sounds while discovering your own sound" makes their music unique and dynamic, with an extra sprinkling of Clinker dust. Their album "Thru' the Fly Machine", has received over 28,000 downloads and has received rave reviews from several sources, including Drone Magazine - "They really are one of the most dedicated bands I have ever come across" and Music-News.com - "Clinker produce their most complete work yet with their stunning L.P Thru the Fly Machine. Every song pulls you in different directions and yet it somehow retains a sense of unity". Journalist Matt Killeen described them after a recent gig; "The whole thing was utterly compelling. They reminded me why I do this: it's the hope of seeing something new and genuinely exciting, to witness something unstoppable". What Clinker give you is a performance full of energy. A Beautiful yet sometimes heartstopping wall of sound, coming at you from many different angles, that will swallow you and your mind whole.
