▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The boy Gedge has written some of the best love ▓▌
▓████▓▌ songs of the Rock 'n' Roll era. You may dispute ▓▌
▓████▓▌ this, but I'm right and you're wrong!" John Peel. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The Wedding Present have had seventeen UK Top 40 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hit singles. not bad for a band who have stubbornly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ refused to play the record industry's game since ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their inception. That was back in 1985 when David ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Lewis Gedge boarded a National Express coach in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ London with a handful of dreams and a pocket full ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of ideas. Oh, and about 500 records packed into a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ pair of his mother's suitcases. In this fashion, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the single GO OUT AND GET 'EM BOY! was collected ▓▌
▓████▓▌ from the pressing plant, delivered to the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ distribution company, and The Wedding Present was ▓▌
▓████▓▌ born. That pioneering spirit has been at the core ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of the band's philosophy ever since. From GEORGE ▓▌
▓████▓▌ BEST "an unmitigated delight" [NME] the first full ▓▌
▓████▓▌ length release on their own Reception Records ▓▌
▓████▓▌ onwards, the band have charted an appealing, if ▓▌
▓████▓▌ often eccentric course of their very own. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ With their independent releases, The Wedding ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Present acquired a reputation for bittersweet, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ breathtakingly real love songs immersed in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ whirlwind guitars, so it was quite extraordinary ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that UKRAINSKI VISTUPI V JOHNA PEELA, with the band ▓▌
▓████▓▌ exploring traditional Eastern European folk music, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ should be their major label debut on RCA. "(They) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ carry off what is basically a bold experiment with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ verve" [NME]. However, this was soon followed by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the more traditionally incendiary BIZARRO, "simply ▓▌
▓████▓▌ unbeatable" [Melody Maker] which featured their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ first hit single KENNEDY. Sounds Magazine said: ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "it's their major label debut, but it's a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ transition they've mastered beautifully". ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The next step, made with characteristically twisted ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Wedding Present logic, was to enlist ▓▌
▓████▓▌ noise-mongering [and relatively unknown, at that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ time] sound engineer Steve Albini's aid, at a time ▓▌
▓████▓▌ when everyone else was releasing dance mixes. The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ resulting SEAMONSTERS, recorded in the snowy wilds ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of Minnesota in just 11 days, suggested a more ▓▌
▓████▓▌ thoughtful Wedding Present. The Guardian newspaper ▓▌
▓████▓▌ noted that "Albini has given The Wedding Present ▓▌
▓████▓▌ considerable weight, with Gedge's voice trickling ▓▌
▓████▓▌ between banks of scowling guitars". Indeed, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ singing ranged from sensual whispering to feverish ▓▌
▓████▓▌ screams, as the singer investigated more ▓▌
▓████▓▌ challenging subjects. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1992 brought another intriguing idea. By the end of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ December the group had released twelve records, one ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in each month, equalled Elvis Presley's 35 year old ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record for "most hits in one year", rekindled ▓▌
▓████▓▌ everyone's interest in that ultimate pop format, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the 7" single, and led the NME to describe the band ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as "casually revolutionary and underhandedly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ unique". A gang of impressive names, including Ian ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Broudie from The Lightning Seeds and legendary ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rolling Stones producer Jimmy Miller collaborated ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on the industry-challenging project, ultimately to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ be compiled on the two HIT PARADE albums and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ awarded "record of the week" by Tony Parsons in The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Daily Telegraph. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ WATUSI, produced by Steve Fisk (a prime mover in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the celebrated avant-garde scene of Seattle, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Washington) then whisked the band off into yet ▓▌
▓████▓▌ another new area with its trademark lo-fi pop, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 3-part a capella harmonies and Waikiki-ready surf ▓▌
▓████▓▌ strains. This "strong, multifaceted album" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ [Select], sprinkled with 60s and 70s pastiches, was ▓▌
▓████▓▌ described by critics as their most varied and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ dynamic to date. "Watusi is (their) "White Album", ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a late period re-assessment of their sound that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ finds them doing what they do best" [Melody Maker]. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In 1995, just before they signed to Cooking Vinyl ▓▌
▓████▓▌ [Britain's largest independent label] the band ▓▌
▓████▓▌ released yet another 7" single, Sucker, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ completed a British tour with two drummers. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Although the record sold several thousand copies ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and reached No.3 in The Festive 50 (veteran BBC DJ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ John Peel's end of year listeners' poll) you won't ▓▌
▓████▓▌ see it in any other charts, because, typically, it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ was only available at the concerts or by mail ▓▌
▓████▓▌ order.s ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The band returned to a more traditional form of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record distribution with the car themed MINI - "a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ gem of a record" [Melody Maker] in which Gedge ▓▌
▓████▓▌ cloaked his tales love, lust and infidelity with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ automobile iconography in what can only be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ described as a concept album! To commemorate this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ release, the band played at the BBC's Sound City ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Event, which was held that year in Leeds, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ group's home town. During the concert, the winner ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of a "Mini Prize Draw" was announced, and a lucky ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Wedding Present fan became the owner of a real life ▓▌
▓████▓▌ classic Austin Mini motorcar provided (and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ delivered!) by the band. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ For the next full length LP, the group decided to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ apply a decade's worth of studio experience and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ produce the recording themselves. Thus, the Top 40 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album SATURNALIA was released by Cooking Vinyl to a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ flurry of critical approval. The NME exclaimed that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "David Gedge has. just written one of the best pop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ albums of the year" while The Melody Maker noted ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that in the new recordings, which were completed in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the London studios belonging to The Cocteau Twins, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ you could "hear an experimentalism that would send ▓▌
▓████▓▌ half of New York back to the lab". ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ It was at this point, in 1997, that Gedge called a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ temporary halt to The Wedding Present and started ▓▌
▓████▓▌ work on a solo project that would eventually see ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the light of day under the banner CINERAMA. A ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fittingly titled outfit, Cinerama indulged Gedge's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ love of film music from John Barry to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Blaxploitation via Ennio Morricone, as well as the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ classic songwriting of Bacharach / David. Cinerama ▓▌
▓████▓▌ actually started life as a duo that Gedge shared ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with his then girlfriend Sally Murrell together ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with a shifting line-up of collaborators. 1998's VA ▓▌
▓████▓▌ VA VOOM "turbo-driven melodies and bittersweet ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vignettes taking in everything from John Barry to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Zombies" [The Times] featured The Church's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Marty Wilson-Piper and Emma Pollock of The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Delgados. Then, in 1999, Gedge rescued the rhythm ▓▌
▓████▓▌ section of the disbanded Goya Dress (Terry de ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Castro and Simon Pearson) and Wedding Present ▓▌
▓████▓▌ guitarist Simon Cleave. Since 2000 the line-up has ▓▌
▓████▓▌ remained relatively steady, apart from Finnish ▓▌
▓████▓▌ drummer Kari Paavola replacing Pearson and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Murrell's retirement from live performance. Gedge, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cleave, de Castro and Paavola became The Wedding ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Present in 2004. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Surely on pace to rival the abundant shelf filling ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of The Wedding Present, Cinerama released a clutch ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of singles in support of their debut LP, as well as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a number prior to 2000's Steve Albini-recorded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ DISCO VOLANTE "dangerously, seductively sweet" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ [Melody Maker]. Notable were the heart-rending ▓▌
▓████▓▌ SUPERMAN (complete with alternative Spanish take) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and the six and a half minute epic HEALTH AND ▓▌
▓████▓▌ EFFICIENCY (also available in French!) which came ▓▌
▓████▓▌ backed with a lilting version of the classic Bond ▓▌
▓████▓▌ theme: "Diamonds Are Forever". ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The third Cinerama studio album, TORINO (released ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in 2002), was an altogether darker and more ▓▌
▓████▓▌ substantial record than the first two, with Gedge ▓▌
▓████▓▌ returning to a much more guitarry sound. "Cinerama ▓▌
▓████▓▌ are finally escaping the shadow of Gedge's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ illustrious indie-legend past. Torino is a giant ▓▌
▓████▓▌ beast of adulterous lyrical fantasies, cult ▓▌
▓████▓▌ soundtrack flourishes and the screams of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Albini-engineered guitars" [Uncut]. ▓▌
