Asylum has a big profile on Peggy but they totally 'shopped the last image in the slideshow. Read the whole story and view the slide show HERE.
Drummer Kurt Feldman captured this key moment when I turned around to blow my nose during the show in Toulouse, France. I'm like the Disaster Girl of indie rock shows.

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart are Amazon's Daily Deal today, meaning you can get their totally awesome album for only $3. You should really do this, because it is great, and legally-obtained music is the future, and we love Peggy. There, that is 3 reasons to buy it. Thank me later.
I am pleased to introduce BuzzFeed’s new guest stars: Veronica Belmont, Ze Frank, Cory Arcangel, and Peggy Wang.

BuzzFeed's own Peggy Wang is in a band, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, which gets a glowing review today in the New York Times — it even singles out her “high harmonies,” which “when faintly whispered, added necessary texture. So did her synthesizer, which was smooth and glassy on 'Young Adult Friction' and needling and whiny on 'The Tenure Itch.'” Go Peggy!!! I was at this show and can say that Jon Caramanica's review is totally right on. If you live near Austin, Los Angeles, anywhere in the Northeast or Europe, or will be in those areas in the next few months, you should go see them live as soon as you possibly can.
Music Buzz OMG, BuzzFeed editor Peggy Wang's band is totally taking off. They have a new video, a tour, lots of press, sold out shows. Pretty crazy. They are called “The Pains of Being Pure at Heart” and you can buy their debut album on Amazon. We are happy for you Peggy but don't quit your day job. Seriously, please please please don't quit your day job.
