Collectors Club were an English indie rock band based in Liverpool. Formed in 2010, the band consisted of Joe Smithson (Guitar and vocals), Jesse Eigen (Bass and vocals), Jack Kelsey (Guitar and vocals) and Dave Ormsby (Drums). ==History== Formed in 2010 as a sixth-form band, Collectors Club was originally a six-piece band including Joe Smithson and Lewis Mondal, who were both at the time members of Middlesbrough-based band The Master Colony.〔http://www.alistairsheerin.com/backcatalogue.cfm〕 Focused initially on recording music than on playing it live, the band played their first gig at Uncle Albert's in Middlesbrough in December 2010, by which point several tracks had already been made available to download free via music sharing site SoundCloud. This had gathered the group a following already and made the first gig a success, and following attention from Bob Fischer of BBC Radio Tees, the band were offered a headline gig at Middlesbrough club Empire, with support from Toyger. In June 2011 the band were offered a slot at the BBC Introducing stage at T in the Park festival 2011, which they accepted.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/festivals/tinthepark/2011/artists/collectorsclub/〕 For several hours after official videos of the bands playing the festival had been posted online, Collectors Club were the fifth most-shared artist of the festival's entire line-up. Collectors Club soon began to be noticed by more well-known bands and supported Pete and the Pirates,〔http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/entertainment-leisure/music-gigs/2011/05/20/also-playing-pete-the-pirates-84229-28727632/〕 Mona〔http://www.generator.org.uk/tippingpoint/collectors-club〕 and Mystery Jets.
