The Real Tuesday Weld are 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, Dreamy Records, Bambini Records and Motorway Records. There was a band by the name of Tuesday Weld that released a cd "Starscene 98" on Glitterhouse Records but is not related.

The band have also complemented The Puppini Sisters in their burlesque style re-makes of modern popular classics such as Crazy in Love by Beyonce Knowles.
