Speedball Baby

Speedball Baby was an energetic four-piece of rockabilly-inspired New York City art punk. The band was formed in 1995 and released two early EPs on Matador, earning them the attention of MCA records. Finding the major-label world not to their liking, Speedball Baby returned to the indie scene, releasing the I'm Gonna Stomp Mr. Harry Lee 10". Uptight, their sophomore full-length, was released in 2000.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have discovered the band in 1998 when he played their song, 'Shakin' It Loose' from the Cinéma! album. Further material from the group were played on his shows and he nominated their single, 'The Al Green Shuffle', as one of his records of the month for February 2000 (Peel's Record Box).
