| It's a cold Tuesday night and I find myself downstairs at 
                    The Notting Hill Arts Club, waiting for one half of the band 
                    Client. They are the first signings to a new label, 
                    Toast Hawaii, owned by a one Andrew Fletcher, an original 
                    of Depeche Mode since well, a long time ago. The band formed 
                    in 2002 and have been sectioned under the Electroclash act 
                    by the music press. While some of their tunes are poppy enough 
                    to sit comfortably on a Saturday morning TV chart show, other 
                    more darker ones are suited to the club scene with their pulsating 
                    synth beats and occasional sleazy lyric. You see their appeal. 
                    
 So I'm downstairs waiting for Client A or Kate Holmes, as 
                    she's better known. After hanging around for a while in the 
                    club, I find her. After admitting she has a bad throat I get 
                    lead up to the very glamorous depths between the top entrance 
                    of the club and the bottom stairs. With the music in full 
                    effect downstairs and the traffic outside letting itself be 
                    heard I began my interview
 in the hope that I would every word be recorded on my trusted 
                    tape machine and less of the late evening traffic passing 
                    by.
 
 Musically, tonight's club listings described 'a night of Electroclash' 
                    to come. Various guests DJ's were to play every month, amongst 
                    them guests from
 Mute Records, who license the band's label. This was a packed 
                    lineup for the 'Being Boiled' night and Client were playing 
                    live tonite. So Kate, what was the purpose of tonight?
 
 "It's just to have our own electro club and to play live 
                    and get a bit of a following" admits Kate. "We had 
                    the club going before. We wanted to do something in West and 
                    not East London and were collaborating with Mute. It's 
                    not about making money, if we lose money we don't really care. 
                    Its a chance for the fans to come out and hear us."
 
 The band may only have formed last year but there's a history 
                    behind Client already, So how exactly did the girls together 
                    in the first place? >>
