Keith Top of the Pops & His Minor UK Indie Celebrity All-Star Backing Band is a London-based indie rock band led by singer-songwriter Keith Top of the Pops.

The band was formed at an Art Brut gig in New York City in 2006, after a support band dropped out, and Keith, who had produced Art Brut's first two singles, played some of his songs with members of Art Brut. The band has subsequently featured a rotating line-up of musicians, with two rules, of avoiding soundchecks and never having rehearsals.[1][2][3]

The band has released three albums. The first, Fuck You! I'm Keith Top of the Pops (released in 2011), was given 5 stars by and made Album of the Month by Artrocker.[2] The second album TOTP 2 (released in 2013) was reviewed well by PopMatters, which described it as "hard to fault".[4] It was also given 5 stars by Artrocker.[5] A third album, Livin' the Dream, was released in 2018.[6][7]
