Athlete

Athlete are an English indie rock/casio rock band. Their sound is a mix of indie rock and electronic music, most recently intergrating "organic sounds" into their music. Friends since the age of fourteen, Athlete have wide ranging influences that include Grandaddy and Flaming Lips (more detailed information about the band's influences can be found on their Last.fm user profile). They started jamming and practicing in the basement of The Bear, a pub which was converted into a church and sandwich bar, on Deptford High Street in 1999.
