In Which Peggy Sue Serenades the Streets of Ballard

Harmony-loving British pop trio Peggy Sue has been recording live performances in uncommon places all along their North American tour.  If you go to their YouTube page, you can see them all: on top of a bus in Montreal; at a skatepark in Portland; on the sidewalks of Boston, at least until the performance was interrupted by the police.

So when the Brighton band was making their way to Seattle to play at the Sunset last weekend, The SunBreak offered a few ideas of places for them to record:

  • on the ferry (which has been done, but is still interesting)
  • at the Sculpture Park (though you might have a cop run-in there too)
  • in the water tower at Volunteer Park (sure to have a nice echo-y effect)

But sometimes the best performances aren't planned, and that's exactly what happened on Saturday night.  Check the video above for Peggy Sue's Seattle performance.

Here's the story—there was a woman watching the show from outside through the window. Apparently she had forgotten her ID.  So for the last song, the band brought the show outside for her.
