The band formed in mid 1999 as a three-piece. They used cheap synths and old drum machines. This particular lineup recorded and released the albums Untitled@33rpm (as part of Guided Missile's Liverpool EP) and Vander.
In 2001 Kling Klang became a five-piece outfit by adding a drummer and extra synth players. They released a 7" record "Nexus/Apex", which embraced drone, repetition and melody.
In June 2002 Kling Klang and German performance artist Mister B presented Esthetik Of Destruction. They recorded it in a Liverpool warehouse, with 14 televisions converted to transform sound into optical effects.
Kling Klang's Superposition EP was released on Rock Action Records in 2002.
Thery toured UK with Mogwai in 2003, and then went on hiatus until 2006.
The album Esthetik Of Destruction is a collection of all the band's releases and some previously unreleased material. It was released 6 November 2006 on Rock Action Records.
Kling Klang began performing live again in December 2006. They opened for Portishead in April 2008.
