27 JUNE 2009
New guitarist ahoy!!
We've scoured the earth (well london & the south east which was hard enough I can tell ya) for the most unltimatist and bestest guitar player ever to go "twang-a-lang" on his E-string and we've only gone & found him haven't we?!
Grand unveiling coming in a jiffy, watch this space...


JUNE 2009
Sadly we've had to part company with our amazing geetar player Keefster for various reasons, but we're glad to say we're still good mates and can be seen propping up various seedy bars together around town on a wednesday night...we luv ya Keef.

BUT...never fear, the kleet krew will return very soon to unveil our spanking new line-up!!

MAY 2009
Where have we been?
Don't worry we haven't got the swine-flu, we'll be back out on the road just as soon as we've found a new bass player to replace Cassandra who tragically spontaneously combusted after an amazing bass solo at the last gig. We miss her. She was hot.

JAN 2009
Knew Yeer
Welcome to 2009 you poor helpless creatures!
Save yourselves! Throw that 42" plasma out the window immediately, it's well bad for your eyes and telly is mainly bollox these days isn't it? and cancel that subscription to Heat magazine while you're at it. Ooh you are naughty.
Like get with the beatnik Kleet pipe fancying philosophy already. It's all about the twang of the guitar and the thwack of the snare and nice catchy like velcro 2 and a half minute songs that you can go laa to. Spread the love, for the love is here for
the spreading.
Check out the gigs page to find out which toilets, I mean kwality live music venues we are playing this month...this is the world according to von kleet...

Shock! horror! that Claire Sturgess off XFM has taken a shine to our song Junkie and has been spinning it (or whatever dj's do) on her X-posure show. That was brilliant that was.
Have a read of the XFM and more reviews
