About Band
News!
Get the new Clinker album "Thru' the Fly Machine" for FREE!!
As Clinker, we have just started making our new album "Thru the Fly Machine" available as a FREE download. We’ve sat on it for a few months wondering what to do with it, but after much discussion we decided that we’d rather just give it away and let you all have it. We’ve started giving it away at gigs too on CD, so if you want a hard copy get along to one of our gigs and we’ll have a limited supply there.
Gig Schedule:
29th Oct 2009 @ The Legion, Old Street, London
30th Oct 2009 @ The Lamp, Hull
18th Nov 2009 @ Buffalo Bar, Islington London
It’s an album that we are extremely happy with. It says more about what Clinker stands for than anything else we’ve done in the past. 12 tracks, including The Line, Searching For a New World, Hallucination Generation, Mire and Let’s Go Out and Get Fucked. So get downloading, via our website…

Kert Semm, a top Estonian journo, has reviewed our album for their national newspaper. He’s also got his own English review site and the translated review is up on there for you to read. He gave us an 8.4/10 rating for it!!! Read it here…

====================================================
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.
They have recently given away a 6 track EP "Pizzo Tung" to mailing list subscribers and plan to do the same thing next month with an album of brand new tunes "Thru the Fly Machine".
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.
You can download more than 100 songs for free at webiste http://www.clinker.org.uk
