Gonna try out a new bit here and see if it sticks. A pretty simple Music Video Of The Day that just includes music with an accompanying video whether it's live, fan made, or the standard music video variety. Don't worry, we'll still post major videos as they are released, we'll save this format for things a bit more under the radar. Any ideas/suggestions please send em in.
Now that we're out of the italicized text let's get down to business. Today we will be looking at Peggy Sue, another folk rock export from the UK somewhat in the vein of Mumford And Sons filtered through Fiona Apple. The acoustic based trio consists of Katy Young and Rosa Slade weaving their vocals together while drummer Olly Bruce holds down the beat. Add some guitars, accordion, strings, and biting lyrics and you've got the Peggy Sue sound.
The stop motion heavy animation below is the first official video for the track "Watchman" off of Fossils And Other Phantoms, the band's new album which was just released in the states last week. Of course that can only mean one thing: tour dates! Starting tonight in Washington DC, Peggy Sue will play thirteen shows in North America before heading back across the pond. Dates are available after the jump.
If you want to hear more from Peggy Sue, Fossils and Other Phantoms is currently streaming on MSN (#22 on "More Listening Parties"), or just head over to their official site.
