• 1st Jul 2010

Peggy Sue the bluesy folk inspired trio from Brighton return with single 'Yo Mama' on July 5th backed with a cover of the Clash's seminal 'Guns Of Brixton', debuted at London's Barbican in March. The single will be available digitally via Wichita Recordings with artwork by Ben Phillips via iTunes and all good download stores. The band will also be making available their much saught after Missy Elliot cover 'All My Grillz' closer to release.

Fresh from supporting Archie Bronson Outfit across Europe last month the band returned to play HUSH at the Royal Albert Hall, their own headline tour of the USA and UK and finishing this weekend at Glastonbury. Tomorrow evening the band support Laura Marling in Hyde Park, London.

Katy says:
“Last year we released the first song from our yet to be released album on our dear friends Chess Club's 7″ label but since then we have found a home at the wonderful Wichita Records and they were feeling left out so they are releasing the song – Yo Mama – on Monday July 5th as a digital single accompanied by two covers. One is of Guns of Brixton by The Clash. We worked out the song for a one off show celebrating London at the Barbican earlier in the year and thought it would make a nice little B-side so there it is. The other is a version of All In My Grill by Missy Elliot which we've been playing live for a little while. You can listen to all three songs here…”
