Little Man Tate to release new single

Following the band’s return with ‘What Your Boyfriend Said’ in June, Sheffield’s Little Man Tate unleash the second single, and long-standing live favourite, ‘Hey Little Sweetie’.

In typically explosive style, ‘Hey Little Sweetie’ is a bruising, jaunty guitar-punch, with vocalist Jon Windle’s assured tales of a female student’s deviant extra-curricular activities.

The single precedes the release of the band’s second album, ‘Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy’, a record made under trying conditions, but one that Little Man Tate are rightly supremely confident in.

The band’s story began in 2006 amid the musical storm that befell Sheffield. Behind the scenes of his day job at The Boardwalk, outspoken young vocalist Jon Windle shirked a career in football to focus his attention on the band.

Following a series of sell-out gigs in the city’s basement venues, the band signed to V2 for their debut album ‘About What You Know’, released in January 2007.
