Biography

Bloc Party's Russell Lissack teamed up with American vocalist Milena Mepris in 2004 to form Pin Me Down, a needling, gutsy, dancefloor-friendly indie rock project that nodded to acts like Ladyhawke, Bella, the Long Blondes, and (unsurprisingly) Bloc Party. The duo derived its name from a text message Lissack sent to Mepris in the early days of their collaboration. Mepris was trying to get ahold of Lissack, who at that point was getting ready to play a gig with Bloc Party; he wasn't able to answer his phone, so he sent her a message stating, "Pin me down at 7." The duo's debut single, "Cryptic," was released on Kitsune Maison 5 Golden Edition in early 2008. ~ Margaret Reges, All Music Guide

Pin Me Down is a pop/electronica/rock side project of guitarist Russell Lissack, of the British band Bloc Party and guitarist/singer Milena Mepris, formerly of the electro-punk band Black Moustache. The band made their live debut as a 5-6 piece in May 2008 in London, supporting Yeasayer and headlining several of their own shows.

Their first single "Cryptic" appears on the Kitsuné Maison 5 GOLD compilation. Kitsuné also released a remix single of Pin Me Down's "Cryptic" in June 2008, which features remixes by PHONES (producer and remixer Paul Epworth), Jamie Ellis (of Battle) and Russell Lissack, Dave P & Adam Sparkles and Dubka Cazals.
