Peggy Sue have been one of my favourite bands for years now, and recently they signed a record deal with the rather wonderful Wichita Recordings (Bloc Party, Los Campesinos!, First Aid Kit & many more) which see's them release their debut album 'Fossils And Other Phantoms' on the 5th April.
To celebrate it they are playing a massive show at The Garage on the 29th of March and you can get tickets here so to have them come and play such an intimate & unique show here at The Old Queen's Head was very special.
Similar to when First Aid Kit played here in December, they took it as a chance to play their debut album live from start to finish. This is quite a task for an act to do, as very rarely are all the tracks on a bands album made to be played live - and especially not in the order they are on a record.
As you can imagine, a live set is structured especially for a live performance, so the songs are placed to work an audience, with the set building into a crescendo, so to throw that out the window and play an album live track for track is a mighty task - and also something that you won't see them do again - needless to say they did it with ease (aside from some dubious on-stage chat!).

And for the more musically geeky of you here is their set list (and of course album track list) with a breakdown of what instruments they all played.
