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

I haven't had time to write one this year (bah, humbug etc) but of course the old Xmas tunes will go up like favourite old decorations. Good to hear people are listening to Uncle Christmas. Mmmmm.... I think I may have stumbled upon a title there!
Ok, I'll keep that in mind. We'll try and make it then. Sorry about the missed messages, our myspace doesn't notify us when someone mails us, we have to check all the inboxes blindly, so to speak. Sometimes vital information slips through.
Yeah, it was a pretty good night. We had to go pretty soon after you guys left though. How was the gallery? Sorry, I didn't read your message until today, otherwise we could've met up. What are your thoughts on the exhibition?
Hello Pete ! Ta for yer comments ! Heard nowt about NYE gig up your end (oooerrr!), but we're playing with gambling hearts and others in salisbury just before xmas so i guess it's a non starter...still playing your cd regularly in me kitchen while i do the dishes, lovin it ! And your surreal video for so we say... Hope to see again soon mate ! Simon x
Hey Pete, was indeed good to chat and to see u guys play again - thinking of going to watch Sunlight Service Group at the Bull and Gate on December 4th if u fancy it.. You're right about that book, Dreamweapon is the correct title, although i reckon Recurring makes a better one! Can dig it out if u have trouble finding it online..
hey pete. likewise..cool tunes over here. actually these days we got frozen air on uranus, thats why we're on holiday on your tiny little planet... space regards, martin/sg!
it was a real nice one this one...pity, i can stick you on the free list the next time...there won't be anything till next year though...gonna focus on recording now I reckon'...
