Peggy Sue Reveal New Single Details

PS_MikeMassaro_W4_3_MAIN
Having just returned from a successful US tour, Peggy Sue are pleased to announce that the next single to be taken from their highly acclaimed third album Choir of Echoes will be Figure of Eight, which is set for release on April 14th.

Peggy Sue are set to embark on a full UK tour in April following the recent US stint and have also just been announced for the End of the Road festival line up.

In the words of the band, Figure of Eight is “the exception to most of our rules. It was written almost entirely in practices by the whole band and it is about as upbeat as a Peggy Sue song gets. It appears in my head as a sort of balancing act where each of the four instrumental parts is holding up the rest. Some kind of musical Escher diagram.

“It is about indecision and friendship and the danger of keeping your options open for too long.”

Listen to Figure of Eight here.

Catch Peggy Sue at the following shows:

March

27 – Ideal Bar @ VEGA, Copenhagen

28 – Kulturhaus III & 70, Hamburg

30 – Privatclub, Berlin

31 – Kranhalle, Munich

April
