Our favorite new band from the UK, Peggy Sue played a sold-out Paradise Rock Club in June. Before the show, we asked them to play a couple of acoustic numbers for us on Commonwealth Avenue. Before they even got warmed up, we were shut down by one of Boston's finest. Seek out Peggy Sue's new album, "Fossils and Other Phantoms" on Yep Roc Records. Our piece on the band at: www.rslblog.com
Directed by Jason Lee, this trailer features Denton, TX's Midlake in a sneak peak of what you can expect from, "The Courage of Others" - their new album out on February 2nd, 2010. The band will play SxSW in March - and you just know that we are going to be there!
