Keyboard Choir

Keyboard Choir started out in Oxford during winter 2004, wanting to create live music with the turbulence and dynamics of 'traditional' ensemble performance using purely electronic sound sources - keys, synths, drum machines, samplers, fx boxes and laptops. They've since gone from strength to strength, playing support to bands as diverse Metronomy, Coldcut and Cadence Weapon, and picking up an army of fans that includes the godfather of UK electronic music Brian Eno.
