It’s a great trivia question: what was Baby Animals’ first release?
It was a song called ‘Break My Heart’, released as a B Side on The Angels’ single ‘Dogs Are Talking’ in 1990. Following the release of the single, Baby Animals went on to support The Angels on their ‘Dogs Are Talking’ tour, which was Baby Animals’ first big tour.
Nearly 30 years later, the bands are hitting the road again, for a massive co-headline tour. And to celebrate the tour, they’re releasing a brand new single – with a twist.
The split single sees The Angels covering ‘One Word’ from Baby Animals’ chart-topping self-titled debut, while Baby Animals deliver a blistering version of The Angels’ Face To Face classic ‘Marseilles’.
The Angels guitarist Rick Brewster has been a big Baby Animals fan since that initial 1990 tour.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Rick promises. “And I can see a great finale coming, with ‘One Word’ and ‘Marseilles’ and the two bands on stage together.”
Baby Animals guitarist Dave Leslie says The Angels were his “childhood heroes”. “That 1990 tour with The Angles was massive for us. “Standing next to Rick Brewster and playing ‘Marseilles’ – I’ll take that opportunity any time,” Dave smiles.
