Hailing from the small village of Sowerby Bridge in the north west of England and armed with a collection of razor sharp alt-pop gems, Team Modeliste are a powerful Noise Trio, winning audiences over wherever they go with their charged up ditch-funk vibes.
With Radio 1 coverage on the Huw Stephens and Tom Robinson shows and a series of supports with the likes of The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Peter Bjorn and John, Chew Lips, The Softpack, The Big Pink & Hockey already under their belts and with festival slots confirmed for 2010, Team Modeliste are coming right at you, and they kick like an angry mule.
Ben Francis does the Vocals and the Thudstaff.
Ross McOwen does the Crooked//out guitar and some vocals.
Benjamin Stevens provides the Nasty Battery.
The band are currently in the studio writing and recording spanking new ditties
Yeah!
