Music: Peggy Sue and the Pirates
Peggy Sue and the Pirates
“We talked about being a band for about a year but never did it because we were a bit shambolic.” Despite such frankness from the duo, it would seem the voyage of Peggy Sue and the Pirates’ vessel has avoided the whirlpool of ‘shambolic-ness’ and is well on its way to discovering the buried treasure. Get ready to be pillaged.

The line between ingenuity and oddity is a thin one that is hard to traverse successfully. Miranda July has crafted an entire career doing just this, imbuing her work with the kind of pathos and whip-smart wit that would render anyone envious.
Arts: Shepard Fairey

Shepard Fairey’s blood sugar count is perilously low and it’s little wonder, given that preparations for the US graffiti artist’s biggest ever gallery show are behind schedule. The mounts have yet to go up on the canvases, the prints all came back late from the framers and there’s only an hour to go before the all important buyers descend on the Stolen Space gallery’s giant rented warehouse facility off London’s Brick Lane.
Music: Rochelle
In the UK we are so over-run with electro it’s surprising that we don’t blast out an electro bleep or squeak mid sentence! So, now we are introduced to Rochelle – an electro-pop three-piece hailing from West Yorkshire. So what makes us pay attention to Rochelle over any of the bazillion other supposed electro crossover acts?
Well lead singer Lydia has oodles of sass for starters, not to mention her memorizing vocals that encapsulate such a seductive allure that even Alan Carr would blush after a chance encounter. Tracks like single ‘Fer De Lance’ infuse sophisticated pop dashes with a notable dance edge to produce nuclear results – hey Fat Boy Slim obviously agrees as he’s just signed them up to his Southern Fried Records label.
Fused caught up with the Rochelle to talk Hovis, Southern Fried Records and socks!
