Lizzie And The Yes Men Release New Single And Play Launch Show

Lizzie and The Yes Men combine Lizzie’s Twiggy-esque style with a contemporary cinematic sound of retro surf-pop and draw inspiration from bands such as The Ramones, The Ronettes and The Beach Boys.

Previous tracks have grabbed the attention of Dazed Digital and Fred Perry Subculture, saw the band shortlisted for the Glastonbury Emerging Talent 2011 competition by Breaking More Waves, gained plays on Frank Skinner’s Absolute Radio show, BBC 6Music’s Nemone show, and they have been interviewed and featured in Chris Hawkins’ 6Music Acoustic Sessions.

2011 saw the four-piece embark on an Italian tour, which gave them the opportunity to play at Rocket in Milan, as well as performing a host of London shows, including a sold-out gig with Those Dancing Days at XOYO and one at Le Baron at Embassy in Mayfair. Their 2012 European dates are produced by the Lottarox residency, and will see them returning to Italy, as well as playing Le Baron in Paris and the 1,000+ capacity Debaser Medis venue in Stockholm.

This latest single ‘The Broadwalk’, combines catchy surf guitars and whistling with Lizzie’s suitably upbeat vocals, and is accompanied by a cool, choreographed video directed by James Copeman, who has previously directed promos for Mystery Jets, Paloma Faith, Noah and The Whale, and Wild Palms.

‘The Broadwalk/The Loneliness’ is released on the 4th June 2012.

Lizzie and the Yes Men are heading out on tour, and will be playing:

4th May – La Sacrestia, Milan
11th May – Debaser Medis, Stockholm
14th June – Paper Dress, London
13th July – Atlantico Live, Rome
14th July – Parco Gondar, Gallipoli, Leece
