You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Chew Lips''' was an English [[dance-pop]] trio, formed in spring of 2008.<ref name="Q Radio - Chew Lips introduction page">((cite news | url=http://news.q4music.com/2009/01/chew_lips.html | title=Q Radio – Chew Lips introduction page | publisher=Ash Meikle, Q | accessdate=26 July 2011 | archive-date=20 July 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090720141309/http://news.q4music.com/2009/01/chew_lips.html | url-status=dead ))</ref> It consisted of singer 'Tigs' and multi-instrumentalists James Watkins and Will Sanderson <ref name="The Guardian - New band of the day">((cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/nov/25/new-band-chew-lips | title= The Guardian – New band of the day | author=Paul Lester|newspaper=[[The Guardian]] | access-date=26 July 2011))</ref>

==Career==
===2008–2009: First steps===
Formed in London as a three piece band in the summer of 2008, Huerta, Watkins and Sanderson armed themselves with a slew of electro-pop hooks and set about establishing Chew Lips as one of the most exciting new acts in the capital.

With Tigs developing into a charismatic whirlwind of a front woman who it was impossible to take your eyes off, Chew Lips increasingly compelling live performances grabbed the attention of uber-cool French label [[Kitsuné]] who insisted on putting out the band's debut single, "Solo".

Released in March 2009, "Solo" sold out almost instantly, causing a storm in the blogosphere and beyond, with [[Pitchfork Media|Pitchfork]] calling the track "….classic, pristine,"<ref name="Pitchfork - Chew Lips 'Solo' Review">((cite news | url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/11133-solo/ | title= Pitchfork – Chew Lips 'Solo' Review | publisher=Jonathan Garrett, Pitchfork | accessdate=26 July 2011))</ref> and ''[[The Fly (magazine)|The Fly]]'' magazine labelling it "one of the most magnificent debuts of the year".

===2009–2010: Second Kitsuné single and ''Unicorn''===
((Main|Unicorn (Chew Lips album)))
A relentless schedule of touring followed into 2009 as Chew Lips honed their sound into a sleek, sophisticated beast.

Kitsuné released a second sold out single, "Salt Air" in July 2009 – NME called it "an addictive slice of heart-wrenching disco-pop" – before the band begun work in summer '09 on their full-length debut with [[Bat For Lashes]] collaborator [[David Kosten]].

The fruits of their labour came with the self-released album ''[[Unicorn (Chew Lips album)|Unicorn]]'' in January 2010, such a giant leap forward for their sound that they were confident enough to leave off both of the previous singles. It was easy to see why – in the likes of "Play Together", "Karen" and "Slick", they had outdone themselves. The press agreed: the [[BBC]] called it "startling", [[NME]] "mesmeric", whilst a 4/5 review in ''[[The Guardian]]'' said it "drags you straight in."

Another stretch of touring followed and by the time the European festival season came round, and after a successful appearance at [[SXSW]] in Texas (''[[Elle (magazine)|Elle]] US described them as the best new act at the festival), Chew Lips were on top of their game. Topping off their tour they headlined the packed [[BBC Introducing#Glastonbury Showcase|BBC Introducing Stage]] at [[Glastonbury Festival]].

Other touring highlights include support slots with [[The Killers]], [[Delphic (band)|Delphic]], [[We Are Scientists]], [[The Virgins]], [[Joy Formidable]], [[Howling Bells]], three sold out UK tours and a sold out European tour in 2011.

=== Split ===
Huertas announced on Twitter in 2015 that she was now only writing material for other artists,<ref>((cite tweet |user=tiggington |number=669081468124200960 |date=24 November 2015 |title=i write for other artists now! ))</ref> implying that Chew Lips had disbanded.
