Client - Client (2003)

Launched as an anonymous duo, Client were simply known as Client A and Client B when they became the first signings to Andy Fletcher's (of Depeche Mode fame) Toast Hawaii label. Their first single, "Price of Love," mimicked the robotic, bloodless vibe of the '80s era backed by an intensely catchy melody. A second single, "Rock and Roll Machine," attempted a less pop-oriented groove that focused on the seedier side of their persona. Throughout 2003 the group performed live at a few select dates in Europe while also DJing classic electro tracks at various clubs in and around the U.K. In September of 2004 the duo returned with City. A third member, Client E, joined for the third album, Heartland. The album also marked a change of label, as it was released by Metropolis. Authority followed in 2014 with a new lineup featuring Client A (revealed as Kate Holmes) and Client N (Nicole Thomas).
