Neils Children are a three-piece band who formed in 1999. Founding members John Linger (guitar/vocals) and Brandon Jacobs (drums) met at Harlow College in Essex, and are both originally from the town of Cheshunt in Hertfordshire. Sometime in the mid 2000s, after recruiting bassist, James Hair, they decided to move to London, where they are currently based.
Although they had previously achieved limited success, the band has received attention in 2007 since the critical and commercial explosion of The Horrors, whom they are supporting on their current UK Tour. Prior to this tour, they have played countless gigs in London, Southend, Brighton and many other cities, notably playing the Insomniacs Ball in London in 2006, and the popular London Calling Festival in Amsterdam. To this date, they have released an 8-track mini album and a string of singles on several different indie music labels. Since their recent success, bassist James Hair was replaced by Keith Seymour, and a shift in their sound is notable since this change.
Their 2004 single 'I Hate Models' has become something of an underground hit and was included on an XFM compilation; it is currently still the song for which they are best known.
