    STAGGER LEE

    Stagger Lee began 2007 with a debauched NYE gig and spent the early part of the year preparing for the release of their debut single 'Bad Shoes' which came out on their own Label Split Lip Records on Friday 13th April. The single comes with some tasty fetish artwork and includes the video for 'Bad Shoes' shot by the notorious Love Action. Their sound embodies the spirit of Robert Johnson's Devil-at-the-crossroads and Mavis Staples sultry gospel cry combined with the energy and attitude of The Stooges, The Cramps and Siouxsie Sioux.

    Highlights to date have included appearances with The Kills, Jon Spencer Blues Xplosion, The Duke Spirit, Sleater Kinney, The Long Blondes, The Drones, The Priscillas, Little Barrie and Pink Grease in the notorious White Trash club in Berlin . Stagger Lee were also invited to play at the Irish launch night of the European MySpace Festival and the Fringe Festival's beautiful Speigeltent in 2006.

    WHAT THE PRESS SAY
    "The debauched blues of Stagger Lee recalls the explosive aggression of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion" - NME

    "...Stagger Lee don't belong in a quagmire of underachieving rock n'roll bands; their superior, oppressive redolence of jealousy, longing, loss and lust puts a yawning chasm between them and the deathly average" - InDublin Magazine

    "They punch out the tracks, wailing solos, waltzing lines, catchy melodies, hidden in a haze of sleaze and dirt. There was rocknroll; there was sex, now if only I could find out where they hide the drugs. a show worth seeing, and a band worth listening to, where so many falter when they play the blues, Stagger Lee rise above it all and produce some fine sounds" - Drop D Magazine

    "Very noisey & gritty rock with a severe dose of the blues" - The Ticket Irish Times Magazine
