With six albums already out on the shelves, The Clientele are not a newbie to the Indie scene. They have been together since 1997, but their sound wishes it could have existed in the late 60s or early 70s. (If you're familiar with Lovin' Spoonful or Cat Stevens...that is what I hear as influences to their music).

Even more exciting than the fact that they are doing a US tour is that they are touring in so many places! Alasdair Maclean, James Hornsey, Mark Keen and Mel Draisey will be in New Jersey at Maxwells on May 6th, in Philly on May 7th at Johnny Brenda's and in DC on May 8th at the Black Cat. You can find the rest of their tour dates on their MySpace page.

The Clientele are on four different labels spanning the globe with one in the US, UK, Spain and Japan. Their newest album is "God Save The Clientele" and it will be released on May 8, 2007 in the US on the Merge Records label. The album has a great tempo, it's filled with all the best sounds including clicks and clacks, keys and strings. And the vocals are soft, breathy and soothing.
