22 years ago today, the Boston Globe (5 September 2003) did this profile on The Clientele. #TheClientele @theclientele.bsky.social

Happy birthday Caetano Veloso. Nothing by flowers. Read Amor de Días (Alasdair Maclean of @theclientele.bsky.social and Lupe Núñez-Fernández of Pipas) in MAGNET on Veloso: magnetmagazine.com/2011/06/20/f...

www.musicweek.com/publishing/r... (as you can see from the photo) we're delighted to be joining a publishing roster which includes Phillip Glass, Anoushka Shankar, Dion, Jeff Mills, John Taverner, The Zombies and many other inspirations

What can you say, except the man was able to do everything he did and still leave stuff like this on the cutting room floor. RIP Brian m.youtube.com/watch?v=EgNN...

Sad to hear this but glad it’s under their control. They were lovely when we opened for them and always a fascinating band www.theguardian.com/music/2025/m...

24 years ago today, the Philadelphia Inquirer (13 May 2001) reviewed The Clientele's "Suburban Light". #TheClientele @theclientele.bsky.social @robertrotifer.bsky.social

Today's the day when our album officially sees the light of day on @tapeterecords.bsky.social. Thank you again, @andylewis.bsky.social, @danny-manners.bsky.social, @ianbutton.bsky.social and @robertrotifer.bsky.social for your talent and your friendship. louisphilippe1.bandcamp.com/album/the-ro...

Happy International Workers’ Day! Don’t let the bastards grind you down!

Give this album a listen: The Blossom Filled Streets open.spotify.com/album/5hC5zv... Discovered this band thanks to @theclientele.bsky.social and I absolutely love them...🙌💙💙💙

So great to see Movietone get a retrospective write up! One of our favourite bands then and now pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Rare London show in an intimate venue with Clientele string arranger, mentor, and (much more importantly) brilliant solo artist Louis Philippe! @philippeauclair.bsky.social wegottickets.com/event/650550/

#RIP Bill Fay. A kind and gentle soul and a great spiritual songwriter. It was a true pleasure to meet him and interview him for @mojomagazine.bsky.social in 2012.

Strongly suggest a $100bn investment in nanotechnology to find a violin small enough to play over this www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/t...

A song of wintertime melancholy by @theclientele.bsky.social, perfect for a chilly, foggy morning in the midst of the city...

2024 was a year of shows, Manchester, Brighton, Bristol, New York, Philadelphia, Chapel Hill, and Lille. And four times in London! Opening for the war on drugs at the Albert Hall, and our original drummer Dan Evans re-joining us in Hackney for a trip down memory lane were highlights. Thank you x

The Butterfly Collectors - an exciting new band that’s just arrived direct from 1992 via a mysterious portal in Hackney… @theclientele.bsky.social

Flashback to 1992 when @theclientele.bsky.social were 18yo, had Maurice Deebank emblazoned on their exercise books and had just got into the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Time cannot wither them or their songs obvs.

Last tickets for the disaster on Thursday dice.fm/partner/lnzr...

3/4 of the founder members of the Clientele will reform on Thursday 5th December to play old songs at the Moth Club, Hackney, with support from The Smashing Times. As a precise historical reconstruction, we will aim to fuck up almost everything we play dice.fm/partner/lnzr...

Excited to be playing with our friends the Smashing Times next week as The Butterfly Collectors. We'll be playing songs from It's Art Dad and Suburban Light, mistakes guaranteed.

On 5th December we’ll be back playing songs from ‘It’s Art Dad’ and ‘Suburban Light’ at Hackney Moth Club with our original drummer Dan Evans. Billed under our old band name The Butterfly Collectors. With our friends from Baltimore, the Smashing Times. dice.fm/partner/lnzr...

Thank you London x

A little lamplight is what we all needed last night. @theclientele.bsky.social at Village Underground, always my favourite:

The Clientele (@theclientele.bsky.social) were joined by Justin Hopper (@oldweirdalbion.bsky.social) for a very special version of Losing Haringey at London's Village Underground last night. Watch it here: 📺▶️ youtu.be/49ynXE3o-7w

Absolutely fucking spellbinding gig by @theclientele.bsky.social tonight. First time I’ve seen them and first time I’ve been to a gig by myself in quite a long time. Will maybe write some more words about it soon. But they really are the greatest band.

Third gig in a week for me and it was the brilliant @theclientele.bsky.social at Village Underground, including a rare live outing of Leaving Haringey

Two sets. 33 songs. The hardest working band in show business. @theclientele.bsky.social

This feels like a good omen - found a first edition ivon Hitchens monograph from a used bookshop and yes maybe you haven’t heard we are playing on Saturday in London please feel free to come dice.fm/event/mw2e9-...

If you like not using twitter, you should check out not using spotify.

Despite being no great fans of hard work, we’re looking forward to the double set on Saturday. Stage times are quite early though: Doors 6pm The Clientele (Set 1) 7.15pm - 8pm The Clientele (Set 2) 8.30pm - 9.30pm dice.fm/event/mw2e9-...

Saturday night with The Clientele this weekend! Two sets @villiageunderground link.dice.fm/ub4827546b74...

Where has ‘The View’ by Robert Aickman been all my life? Such an interesting piece of writing

Losing Haringey came top of fans' requests for 23rd November show. So once we get a volunteer/victim to read it we'll do it. If you're coming for the requests set, come early, as we are effectively opening for ourselves. One requests set, one set with cello. dice.fm/event/mw2e9-...

Playing TWO sets on 23rd Nov - one will be made up of Clientele song requests from you. No support act. Last show for a while. Tickets: link.dice.fm/ub4827546b74...
