Band history

Since their formation, the band have released several singles. Their debut "Slow Kids", released on March 17, 2008, received a positive reception, catching the attention of Huw Stephens, NME and Q magazine.[1] Following the success of Slow Kids, the band went on to release their latest single, "You Let Me Go", which was granted track of the week in NME, receiving a very respectable 8/10 from Dan Martin.

2009 proved a promising start for the band as they played shows in Japan and at SXSW in Texas. It was during their NME Awards Show on February 17 that the band announced their name change to The Cheek stating, "It takes about two seconds to say 'Cheeky Cheeky And The Nosebleeds', and we say our band name sometimes 20 times a day. That's like four-and-a-half minutes every week. More than four hours a year. We're getting an extra three hours a year back just by becoming "The Cheek"."[2]

They went onto release a limited Japanese EP on 24 February, "Thespionage" which featured a series of previous unreleased tracks the band recorded during various sessions as CCATNB.

During 2008, Cheeky Cheeky and the Nosebleeds had a busy festival season, playing at Latitude, Glastonbury[3] and Underage Festival. Their headline set at Latitude's Lake Stage saw a record number of crowd surfers and drew one of the largest crowds for the stage. Following their popularity at London's Underage festival, the band were approached again to do an Underage Christmas Special at London Scala on the 20th December. More recently they embarked on their debut headlining tour, covering 29 dates in 31 days including a special Halloween show at the borderline and in December supported Iglu and Hartley on their UK Tour.

Debut Album

The band spent two separate sessions during January and June 2009 recording their debut album at ICP Studios in Belgium. It was produced by White Lies and Pulp collaborator, Ed Buller. Several album previews and demos appeared on the bands Myspace player during this time. Hung Up also appeared with the announcement that the song will be their third single but first as "The Cheek".

Hung Up was officially released later than year on November 9 on 7" and download.

According to reports, the album will feature Roxy Music's Andy Mackay on saxophone.
