Elle Milano were an alternative rock band based in Brighton, UK signed to independent label Brighton Electric. They were fronted by Adam Crisp, (perhaps better known now as Clarence Clarity)who also played guitar and keyboard.

The band are known for having a large catalogue of songs that have been given out via the Internet and at gigs; many were recorded during the album sessions in 2006, which would be self-produced by Adam and James.

Kobe and Je had their own bands, the Konsoles and the Juggernauts respectively, from which the odd track would emerge, usually via Myspace.
