Биография

The Collectable Few was formed in West London in 2007. United by a love of 80s pop records and fuzzy US guitar bands, the quartet create infectious sun-fuelled pop songs with multi-layered melodies and dance-worthy beats. In 2008, the band inked a single deal with prestigious XL Recordings' imprint Salvia. The song 'Missing Out' was released on the label on 9 August 2009. Towards the end of the year they began a transatlantic working relationship with New York-based producer Andrew Maury, known for his work with Ra Ra Riot, RAC, The Static Jacks, Atlas Genius and Kisses. In October 2010, the band signed to the London-based Laissez Faire Club label. Their first single on the label was 'Headstrong' released on 24 January 2011. The B-side featured an RAC remix of the title track, also mixed by Andrew Maury. This single gained the band further recognition, getting regular airplay on XFM, BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music. Over the course of their career, The Collectable Few toured extensively across UK, Europe and North America, playing shows with Eliza Doolittle, Bastille, Anna Calvi, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Whigs, Chapel Club, D.I.D, The Maccabees and We Have Band among others.
