Biography

Formed in late 2005, The Indelicates have rapidly been establishing themselves as one of the most exciting new bands to come out of the UK.

Essentially the joint project of Simon Indelicate (formerly a performance poet and author of 'The Book Of Job: The Musical' – due to be revived in 2008) and Julia Indelicate (an acclaimed documentary photographer) The Indelicates are a five piece, piano and guitar-led pop/rock act from Sussex, UK. Taking their musical cues from folk and classical sources - as well as the broad spectrum of British indie rock – they write melodic, edgy and intellectually coherent songs that have been consistently well-received in the UK and abroad.

Julia and Simon met at a Poetry slam (which he won) working together to perform and promote music, poetry, and the famous poets vs. mc's slams that characterised the Brighton 'scene'. Julia then went on to found The Pipettes, but left after a year and half to work instead on the rock/ punk music she and Simon had been writing.

They have performed live extensively playing more than 100 shows in London and the rest of England. They have also toured Germany and Austria three times, twice as a headline act and once as main support to Art Brut – playing six dates in 800+ capacity venues. They have headlined shows in such major european cities as Berlin, Rome and Paris.

They have released three singles and an EP which have been widely reviewed and given international radio play. Over the last few months they have recorded an album for British/German indie label Weekender Records with producer Brian O'Shaugnessey (Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Denim). The album is due to be released simultaneously in the UK and Germany in April 2008.

Represented by Kelly Maxwell at Loki PR, they have been written about positively in the NME, the New Statesman, Artrocker, the Guardian, the Times, The Fly and other magazines. Internationally, they have been praised in Vanity Fair and Musik Express(Germany), Rolling Stone and Pitchfork(US), and widely on internet blogs and music sites.
