Surviving Members of The Modern Form New Band

The three surviving members of The Modern have formed a new band called Matinee Club.

Guitarist Robert and drummer Bob have both moved on to fresh ventures, leaving Emma, Nathan and Chi to carry on as a three piece under a new guise.

The band have been snapped up to Ninth Wave Records in the US and Planet Clique Records in the UK.

They will be releasing their single ‘Discotheque Francais’ in the UK this October, while an EP will be released Stateside in January.

The band said in a statement: “Since our departure from Mercury Records and our management, we felt it was time for The Modern to grow into another form that would best represent our music in it's purest essence.
 
“So we are proud to introduce our brand new guise, Matinee Club.”

It finishes: “All these changes put us completely in control of our future and we do hope you join us for the ride!”
