Their 2009 album ''The Clerkenwell Kid: Live at the End of the World'' is an imaginary live recording of a concert on the "eve of the apocalypse". The Clerkenwell Kid is also the main character in a London-based mythology that Coates has developed around his love of the city's history and stories. In early 2021 Coates announced on the band's website that the Real Tuesday Weld would be winding up "in the next year or so" after the release of three final albums – ''Blood'' (released in May 2021), ''Dreams'' and ''Bone''.
