The Cesarians are an English, London-based group, consisting of singer Charlie Finke, pianist Justine Armatage, drummer Jan Noble and an all-woman wind section.[1] Their eponymous debut album, Cesarians 1, was recorded at Abbey Road studios and produced by Craig Leon.[2]

In 2007 they opened for The Last Drive at the Indie Rocket Festival in Pescara, Italy and have since toured extensively throughout Europe, playing, most notably, at the Admiralspalast in Berlin[3] and at the Donaufestival in Austria in 2009.[4]

In April 2010, they supported Adam Ant at his notorious comeback gig at the Scala, and in June they performed alongside Martin Creed at London's ICA.[5] They appeared at the Soy Festival in Nantes in October. In December 2010, they controversially revoked their pledge to "ban guitars"[2] with the appointment of bassist, Budge Magraw (ex Gretschen Hofner with Justine Armatage).
