The Real Tuesday Weld

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the band. For the actress, see Tuesday Weld.

The Real Tuesday Weld is a British band, fronted by lead singer and founder Stephen Coates. They are known for producing jazzy cabaret-style music with subtle electronica influences, a style dubbed "antique beat" by Coates [1].

The band is named after American film actress Tuesday Weld. Coates once had a dream involving Weld and 30s vocalist Al Bowlly. Coates and others often cite the dream as inspiration for the band and its particular style.

Presently, the band is signed to PIAS Recordings (internationally) and Six Degrees Records (in the US). Some older recordings were with Kindercore Records.
