We love his neo-retro 1930s/film noir soundtrack/Beatles vibe spiked with English humor, and can’t wait to see the band on stage very soon: February 13th at the Comedy Club and february 15th at the Café de La Danse, both in Paris!

A widescreen cinematic emotional cabaret, Soundtrack for the Last Werewolf is the sixth The Real Tuesday Weld album and follows the Sunday Times and The Independent album of the week The London Book of the Dead. It’s been released by Six Degrees in the US on July 12th and internationally thereafter. It features a range of special guests including Glen Duncan, The Puppini Sisters, Pinkie Maclure and Joe Coles of Lazarus Plane Crash. A very special edition of the album with…..

Like I, Lucifer before it, The Last Werewolf is inspired by a novel by Mancunian author Glen Duncan who stated in interview that The Real Tuesday Weld has “the depressing knack of getting into three verses and a chorus what I’ve just spent 100,000 words on”. The themes on the record are transformation and the loss of what you love (werewolves being such inconsiderate lovers), and it has the right degree of violence, debauchery and decadence, suffused with film noir atmospherics.
