- Booking Coordinator Lexi Zdanov will handle the band's day-to-day booking.
- Babe City dropped their debut LP I Love You Forever in November 2024 and followed it with their 2026 single "Upper Hand," signaling continued momentum heading into a busy live season.
- The deal extends Tour Peachy's active 2026 signing streak, which has previously included Niina Soleil and Sex Mex.
Babe City, the New York-based noise-pop and indie rock trio, has officially signed with independent boutique agency Tour Peachy for worldwide live music representation, excluding Europe and the UK. Booking Coordinator Lexi Zdanov will oversee the band’s touring.
The trio (Mia Tims, Jackson Cathcart, and Theo Hoffstrom) met while studying at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Music and have been building steadily ever since.
Their November 2024 debut LP, I Love You Forever, earned strong critical traction across the indie press, and they have kept the momentum going with the 2025 live single “catalog / one way out” and their latest 2026 release, “Upper Hand.” Prior to this deal, the band operated independently without formal agency representation.
Tour Peachy has been one of the more active boutique agencies in the indie space this year. The agency recently brought aboard Niina Soleil for worldwide touring, and in a similar move, Sex Mex joined the roster earlier in 2026.
The Babe City signing adds another emerging indie voice to a roster that Tour Peachy founder Troy Lusk has been building with a clear artist-first philosophy since the agency launched in 2021. Europe and the UK remain open territory, leaving room for a complementary regional partner to step in.
Takeaways
This signing is a smart match on both sides. Babe City arrives with real creative momentum, a critically noted debut LP, consistent single output, and a New York indie buzz that tends to translate well to live audiences.
Pairing them with Tour Peachy at this stage, before the band has exhausted their grassroots pull, is exactly the kind of early bet boutique agencies build reputations on.
For Tour Peachy, this is another data point in a clear pattern: they are deliberately stacking an indie-leaning, artist-forward roster of acts who are road-ready but not yet over-managed.
The recurring Worldwide ex-EU/UK territory structure across their 2026 signings also hints that the agency may be cultivating European partnerships behind the scenes.
For Lexi Zdanov, this is a meaningful early-career signing to manage under Troy Lusk’s guidance, a band with upside and a real story to sell to promoters.
With Europe and the UK left open, which agency is best positioned to snap up Babe City’s international territory, and does the timing suggest a deal is already close? With “Upper Hand” out in 2026 and a growing live profile, is a headline tour or a major festival slot the logical next move for Babe City?
