The Real Tuesday Weld: Songs from The Last Werewolf
October 2011

British sonic adventurer Stephen Coates once had a dream about an American film star Tuesday Weld and subsequently named his band after her.He deals in the retro sounds he calls “antique beat” and draws on cabaret, jazz and classical music while adding minimal electronica for a sophisticated modern twist. Coates’ latest project serves as a soundtrack to a werewolf book by Glen Duncan yet comes across as an enthralling, nerve-shredding and coherent set piece in its own right. The rabid blues of Wolfman is a striking departure though elsewhere the music hall atmosphere returns with fine guest vocals from The Puppini Sisters, Piney Gir and Pinkie Maclure. Aahhoo!
