Denver-based indie rock band Dressy Bessy has issued the first in its digital “Summer Singles” collection this week. Starting the series with “Hey, Alice!” (and its accompanying video) b/w“Little Pieces”, the band is celebrating in New York this weekend with a show in Brooklyn at Littlefield on Saturday.

“We’re so ready to start playing shows and we’ve added some of the early hits into the set list,” says lead singer and guitarist, Tammy Ealom. With the new tracks, Ealom, along with lead guitarist John Hill (The Apples in stereo), bass player Rob Greene, and drummer Craig Gilbert are out to have fun, “and that’s the way we want to keep it,” says Hill.

Dressy Bessy is working towards an album release in 2013, but for now the band just wants to keep making music and taking it directly to the fans. Dressy Bessy has subsequent digital releases scheduled for July and September and will also release a series of cassette tapes on the Orange County label Burger Records, beginning with a compilation of early recordings in June and album reissues later in the summer.
