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.

The band has released two 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. The second album TOTP 2 (released in 2013) was reviewed well by PopMatters, which described it as "hard to fault". It was also given 5 stars by Artrocker. Recording of a third album finished in 2016.

On the two released albums, the credited artists, aside from Keith, are: Eddie Argos, David Barnett, Jo Bevan, Rob Britton, Chris Cain, Ian Catskilkin, Micky Ciccone, Emma Cooper, Sue Denim, Mikey Drums, David Fade, Johnny Fade, Jasper Future, Fruitbat, Luke Haines, Charlotte Hatherley, Julia Indelicate, Simon Indelicate, Jimbob, Arec G Litter, Jackie McKeown, John Moore, Keith Murray, Sarah Nixey, Adie Nunn, Dee Plume, Melissa Reardon, James Rocks, Sara, Charley Stone, Nathan Thomas, Tim Ten Yen, Phil Whaite, Dyan Valdes, and Johnny Yeah.
