Clean Bandit: "We're the cleverest and the most stupid band in pop"

Clean Bandit have admitted that they're probably the "cleverest and the most stupid" pop group around.

The rising Brits have shot to fame with their big-hitting track 'Rather Be', which has spent three weeks at No.1 in the UK.

Speaking to the Guardian, it seems their high-profile education doesn't amount to much, however.

When asked if their Cambridge history works in their favour to make them the most intelligent pop band around, Jack Patterson said:

"The cleverest and the most stupid. I do think there's a misconception that everyone from Cambridge is really clever. I met so many morons there! Some people are ignorant, some are thick, some are just terrible people."

Talking meanwhile about his employment history, Patterson added: "I've had a job as a trolley man for Morrisons. Is that the right word for the guy who reins in the trolleys? Let's say a trolley technician. It was tough because the carpark was basically on the River Dee directly by the beach, so this huge expanse of sand and wind would come into the carpark, which you had to deal with.

"Although one of my friends had a job in a chicken factory where he had to remove the lungs from chickens after they'd been fed through an automatic chicken-killing machine...so things could have been worse!"
