The Real Tuesday Weld

The Real Tuesday Weld

The Real Tuesday Weld (aka The Clerkenwell Kid), is a British "Antique Beat" band, founded by London's Stephen Coates. He's responsible for at least a half dozen full length records with the band, including 2008's Kix, out on Six Degrees Records, and recently had a track featured in the film, "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist."

In 2007, The Real Tuesday Weld did a commissioned piece for the Rothko room at The Tate Modern, in London, and re-scored the surrealist film "Dreams That Money Can Buy" for the British Film Institute. They're known for their work on TV, in advertising, documentaries and with film makers such as animator Alex Budovsky, with whom they've won several awards. You can check out some of these animations, along with MP3s and Podcasts at their website.
