A few years ago Rose enetered a scene spiral where she now only plays in backyards, picnics or (if you're lucky) unannounced at the bottom of the bill to 5 bands you've never heard of.

Misread thread title as "when tweedy gets creepy", and I thought, "Which is rather often, come to think of it."

a few years back the tweepop folks in my locale did something v similar sounding to that park one and managed to get Calvin Johnson to play (cf thread title), a whole afternoon of it was way too much but the setting kinda worked for him at least

The girl group genre is rife with this stuff. Search Little Peggy March's My Teenage Castle Is Tumbling Down. Also from Patience & Prudence We Can't Sing Rhythm & Blues.

"My Teenage Castle Is Tumbling Down" is great. I'm not sure what makes any of these old songs creepy (or even "twee")...
