WhoMadeWho is a Copenhagen-based experimental pop trio, who formed in 2003. The band consists of jazz guitarist Jeppe Kjellberg, drummer Tomas Barfod and singer/bassist Tomas Høffding.
The band released several 12-inches on German disco label Gomma Records including Out the Door and Space to Rent, culminating in their self-titled debut album WhoMadeWho in 2005. In 2009, they released their second album The Plot, the third album Knee Deep was released in 2011 followed by Brighter in 2012. The next album Dreams was released in 2014, and the latest Through The Walls in 2018.
As a live band, WhoMadeWho has played alongside genre-bending contemporaries Daft Punk, Soulwax, Hot Chip, Justice and LCD Soundsystem. After touring together Hot Chip asked to remix their single "TV Friend", and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age has covered "Space for Rent".
WhoMadeWho gained further popularity when they headlined the Benicàssim festival in 2007 after a delay caused scheduled headliners, Klaxons, to arrive too late to play their set.[1]
On 21 February 2014, they played with Arisa the song "Cuccurucucu", a tribute to Franco Battiato, at Festival of Sanremo 2014, Italy.[2]
On 22 February 2021, they played live for the cameras of Cercle at the ancient temples of Abu Simbel in Egypt.[3]
In September 2022, they presented their album 'UUUU' which was inspired by 90s and 00s Electronica and 80s Post-Disco. Album launch took place in London club venue Koko supported by Jan Blomqvist and Rockin Moroccin.[4]
WhoMadeWho performed at Coachella 2023.[5]
