"The Modern LP" the band's debut album and is a great example of the
band's indie-electro-pop fusion, with a nod to influences as diverse
as Blondie, Duran Duran, The Cure and Kraftwerk. 1940's styled blonde-
bombshell and ever-omnipresent front woman Emma Cooke compliments the
rippling synths with her rich, dramatic vocals, which build to the
catchy climactic chorus. Matinee Club conjure images of faded glamour
and the city's seedy underbelly.
You might recall Matinee club better as The Modern, their nome de
plum when they were a five piece band. This new album collects
several singles from The Modern period and adds in new material from
the current trio.
Matinee Club is made up of three London based musicians; stunning
blonde front woman and leading lady Emma Cooke (vocals), Nathan
Cooper (keyboards and vocals) and Chi Tudor-Hart (keyboards and
vocals). Having risen from the ashes of several bands and having 3
top 40 singles in the UK already, with Matinee Club Emma, Chi and
Nathan finally finding the optimum line up and sound. With a love of
burlesque glamour and theatrics, the band create electro pop
accompanied by pitch perfect pop vocals, Matinee Club are ready to
take the world by storm.
Don't just take our word for it, here's what the UK press has had to
say about the band:
"New Wild Boys. London synth-pop freaks with bat-cave hair… anthems
such as… Durannest moment `Discotheque Francais'" Rolling Stone
Magazine
"Buzzing, fizzing electro." The Sun newspaper
"Bored of James Blunt. Well, fear not, for we at last an antidote.
Think Roxy Music meets Dollar, on a poppers-fuelled dancefloor."
Attitude Magazine
"On a mission to inject some much needed glamour back into the
charts." Boyz Magazine
"Fashion band who actually have the sound as well as the all
important look." New Music Express
"Maverick futurists." Simon Price, The Independent on Sunday
"A blast of fresh air at a time when most pop is made by lobotomised
Topshop assistants… spectacularly theatrical gigs… piss on the chips
of anyone still claiming electronic music can't have a personality…
it's sexy and synthetic." Peter Robinson, New Music Express
"Glossy slice of day-glo new romantic pop… gloriously melodramtic."
M8 Magazine
"Spectacular live shows… primed to grace block parties everywhere."
Digital Magazine
"London's rising camp electro outfit… corset-clad singer… shine with
theatrical beauty… flamboyant… kitsch in the extreme and could be the
cross-over style we need to shove James Blunt off his polite perch."
The Star Newspaper
"These glam popsters are tipped to be the next big thing." Ellie
Guttridge,
"Combining the musical and visual elements of Japan, Visage, Roxy
Music, Propaganda… set to burn up a dance floor near you." Taylor
Glasby, Disorder Magazine
