hello kleet here. and this is my attempt at a proper serious important 'rock biog', cos apparently what I usually write here is too jokey... I started Von Kleet in my hometown of Costa del Croydon when I recorded a bunch of my songs in the studio. I played all the instruments on the recordings (drums first, then guitar, bass & then vocals) - a bit like how Dave Grohl made the first Foos Album. The 1st demo 'Junkie' got played on XFM Unsigned by Claire Sturgess.

hello kleet here. and this is my attempt at a proper serious important 'rock biog', cos apparently what I usually write here is too jokey... I started Von Kleet in my hometown of Costa del Croydon when I recorded a bunch of my songs in the studio. I played all the instruments on the recordings (drums first, then guitar, bass & then vocals) - a bit like how Dave Grohl made the first Foos Album. The 1st demo 'Junkie' got played on XFM Unsigned by Claire Sturgess. The follow up EP was playlisted by Gary Crowley on BBC London and won the PlayMusic Magazine Best Unsigned Artist award. Then I had a pot noodle. I realised I needed to find some band members so the songs could be done live, so.....when you come to a Kleet show you will see me singing and playing the drums at the same time (like Karen Carpenter), Killian 'the pinball wizard' is on eclectic guitar and Monty is on the bass. They are brilliant and we have showers and jokes together after gigs like footballers do. We will treat you real nice at shows. Come up to us, we will actually speak to you. Exchange digits with us and we’ll be calling you up in the middle of the night asking you to come and hang out with us at the kebab shop.
