Stalkers - Lady Sonia by Oops Baby Records

Last month, The Stalkers released a limited edition 400 black vinyl/100 blue vinyl 7" and digital single, "Lady Sonia" / "When We Get There" on Oops Baby Records. This release is the follow-up to the band's debut album, Yesterday Is No Tomorrow, which was released in 2008 on One Little Indian. The record received positive reviews from the British press and the band has toured extensively, appearing at major UK festivals and playing packed houses all over the States. The band has built a steady following since forming in 2007 - the five members; Andy Animal (vocals), Dave (rhythm guitar), Danny (bass), John (lead guitar) and Josh (drums) create a live energy that brings to mind The Dictators and the MC5.



In keeping with The Dictators comparison, Impose Magazine did a write-up on the band in 2007 and said: "Five minutes with Andy and you know why they call him Animal. He's sometimes possessed, with a crazed look in his clear blue eye. He's been spotted wearing an eye patch, and his long hair has not had the rock washed out of it. He's garage in the sense that he looks like he lives in one. Upon mention that I was traveling with Andy, out came the stories… "That guy used to be our roadie," "This one time we were all so fucked up…" Seems we have a living legend here."





The Stalkers played immediately prior to The Dwarves and got the crowd fired up as the band came off the stage and finished their set from the floor.
