HISTORY

They initially had a management contract and record deal with Warner offshoot 1967 Records and released their first single, ''Download It'', in 2003—it entered the charts at number 21 and the band spent the remainder of the year playing small concerts in the United Kingdom .

In February 2004 , the band released their second single, " Stuck In The Middle " which reached number 23 in the UK charts. They continued playing, including appearances at Soccer 6 in Liverpool and Reading . In May of that year, Chloe Staines left the band, for reasons which are unclear. Clea's album, '' Identity Crisis '' was released in Russia , Eastern Europe and in certain countries in Asia . In these regions, the band had seen some moderate interest; however, due to a lack of success, they were dropped from 1967 Records in late 2004. Clea are now managed by Upside Management and are releasing music independently.

In September 2005 , Clea collaborated with production group Da Playaz to release a single, named ''We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off'' a dance remake of the Narada Michael Walden song made famous by Jermaine Stewart . This single reached number 35 on the UK charts. '' Lucky Like That '' is the bands fourth single and was released in June 2006 . The single placed at number 55 on the UK Charts. ''Trinity'', Clea's second album (but first UK album) was released on July 3 on Upside Records , and charted at #258. Lynsey Brown left the band in November 2006.
