About Me

The Cleo Whip are a North London based band who have been gigging with this lineup since summer 2005. They have enjoyed airplay on XFM as part of its XFM Unsigned feature and have enjoyed being playlisted in Artrocker and on Earwax Radio. Musical comparisons have been made with the likes of Stereolab, The Strokes, Pixies and Le Tigre. Through gigs in London, including support slots with The Subways, Lucky Soul, Comanechi and Damn Arms, they have built up a loyal following for their shows, playing venues such as Metro, The Luminaire, Buffalo Bar, Bush Hall, The Notting Hill Arts Club and the Old Blue Last. Collaborations have included Simon Bookish (Franz Ferdinand's remixer), and their demo was produced by Big Nurse, regular contributors to The Remix on XFM.new-noise magazine (www.new-noise.net) say: "The Cleo Whip have something good going on. Lazy vocals and swaying guitars give Don't Look Down a great vibe."
