History

Early stages and the Reception era (1985-1989)

The Lost Pandas fell apart in 1984 when singer David Gedge's then girlfriend Janet Rigby, the drummer for the band, left him for guitarist Michael Duane. David Gedge (born David Lewis Gedge 23 April 1960 in Bramley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England) is an English Gedge and the Pandas' bass player, Keith Gregory, decided to continue the band, renaming it The Wedding Present. Gedge had wanted to use the name "The Wedding Present" for some time, but had been afraid of the perceived similarity with the name of one of his favourite bands, The Birthday Party. The Birthday Party was an Australian Post-punk group active from 1977 to 1983 By the time the Lost Pandas broke up, however, The Birthday Party had also split up, and Gedge felt free to name his new band The Wedding Present.

“ I’ve always thought that The Wedding Present was an inappropriate name for a pop group — more like a poem, or a book or something — and therefore quite attractive (to me!). A name ( Etymology: from OE nama akin to OHG namo, Latin Nomen, and Greek όνομα ( Pop music as a genre features a noticeable rhythmic element catchy melodies and hooks, a mainstream style and conventional structure A musical ensemble is a group of two or more Musicians who perform instrumental or vocal Music. A Book is a set or collection of written printed illustrated or blank sheets made of Paper, Parchment, or other material usually fastened together I’ve also always been fascinated by weddings. A wedding is the Ceremony in which two people are united in Marriage. . . [1] ”

Gedge and Gregory recruited an old schoolmate of Gedge's, Peter Solowka, to play guitar and auditioned a string of drummers, including John Ramsden, and Mike Bedford, with whom they recorded a demo tape, before settling on Shaun Charman. Peter Solowka born in Leeds of Ukrainian and Irish descent was guitarist with the Wedding Present from its inception until 1991 after A demo version or demo of a song (shortened from the word "demonstration" is one recorded for reference rather than for release The country's clubs and bars were toured as the band prepared for the recording of their first, self-financed single. "Go Out and Get ’Em, Boy!" was chosen over early favourite "Will You Be Up There?". Charman felt somewhat insecure about his drumming abilities and so the A-side features drumming by hired hand Julian Sowa (Charman does, however, play drums on its B-side). A-side and B-side originally referred to the two sides of 7 inch Vinyl records on which singles were released beginning in the 1950s The single was released on the band's own Reception Records label with distribution through Red Rhino. Red Rhino Records, also known as Red Rhino, was a British Record label which was developed by the independent record shop and wholesaler of the same name all formed

Two more singles followed that did well on the independent charts helped by veteran BBC radio DJ John Peel who was one of their first champions. Radio is the transmission of signals by Modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible Light.

It was released in October 1987 by their own Record company, Reception Records.

Upon its release, the album was critically acclaimed and the band were soon classified, with some of their peers, as members of the 'shambling' or C86 scene, a categorisation that they vehemently declined (although they were featured on the original C86 compilation). C86 is a cassette compilation released by the British music magazine New Musical Express (NME in 1986, featuring new bands licensed Musically, the album featured fast-paced rhythm guitar; lyrically, apart from a few excursions into social critique ("All This and More") and politics ("All About Eve"), Gedge's main concerns (which would become his trademark) were love, lust, heartbreak and revenge. Love is any of a number of Emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong Affection. Soon after the release of George Best, the early singles and radio sessions were compiled and released as Tommy (1985-1987). When Solowka, who has Ukrainian roots, started fooling around with a Ukrainian folk tune during one of their Peel sessions, the idea arose to devote some of their radio time to recording their versions of Ukrainian and Russian folk song, encouraged by Peel. Ukraine (Україна Ukrayina, /ukrɑˈjinɑ/ is a country in Eastern Europe. Russia (Россия Rossiya) or the Russian Federation ( Rossiyskaya Federatsiya) is a transcontinental Country extending To this end, two guest musicians were invited, singer/violin player Len Liggins and mandolin player Roman Remeynes, and three Peel sessions were recorded with Gedge temporarily limiting himself to playing rhythm guitar and arranging the songs.

Between the recording of the first and the second 'Ukrainian' session, Charman was fired from the band. His replacement was Simon Smith, who remained the band's drummer] until 1997 and for a long time was, next to Gedge, the only other stable factor in the shifting line-ups. Simon Smith has been the Drummer with several British Indie rock bands most notably The Wedding Present from Leeds. The band planned on releasing eight cuts from the Ukrainian sessions on a 10" LP and an initial batch was pressed when Red Rhino went into receivership. A gramophone Administrative receivership is a procedure in the United Kingdom whereby a creditor can enforce security against a company's assets in an effort to obtain Rather than trying to find a new distribution company, the band decided to fold their Reception label altogether and sign with a regular record company: RCA.

The RCA era (1989-1993)

Although the band were criticized by some quarters for 'selling out', under the terms of their contract they were allowed their own choice of producer and singles. They also had the option of releasing any singles rejected by the label independently without breach of contract. The band's new record company bought the initial Reception stock of the Ukrainian record from the band, pressed another batch, and released the record in April 1989 under the name of Українські Виступи в Івана Піла (meaning 'Ukrainian John Peel Sessions'; the Latin transliteration Ukraïnski Vistupi v Ivana Peela appeared on the sleeve's spine only).

The first proper album that The Wedding Present recorded for their new label was released in the same year 1989 and reunited them with Allison. This is a list of notable events in music that took place in the year 1989 Bizarro’s lyrical themes were largely the same as before and the songs featured the same three-chord structures, but its production values had increased due to a larger recording budget.

A three-chord song is a Song whose Music is built around three chords that are played in a certain sequence. The album's companion single, "Kennedy", provided the band with their first British Top 40 hit. The Top Forty or Top 40 is a music industry shorthand for the currently most-popular songs in a particular genre. Seeing that they were growing more popular in the American college radio scene, the band turned towards America for their next project. The band decided to re-record Bizarro track "Brassneck" with the former Big Black frontman Steve Albini. Big Black was a Noise rock band founded in Chicago Illinois, United States that was active between 1982 and 1987. Steven Frank Albini (born July 22, 1962) is an American Audio engineer, singer songwriter Guitarist, and music journalist It was the start of a two-year collaboration: the next single, "Corduroy" and album, Seamonsters, were also recorded by Albini at Pachyderm Recording Studio in Cannon Falls, MN.

Melody Maker, published in the United Kingdom, was according to its publisher IPC Media, the world's oldest weekly Music Newspaper End of year readers polls, however, showed the opening track and lead single of the album, "Dalliance", amongst the top of the favourites list.

The next year saw the band release twelve 7" singles in one year. Each single had a limited pressing of 10,000 copies which all reached the Top 30 in the U. K. chart, equalling Elvis Presley's record for the most U. K. Top 30 hits in one year. To economise on songwriting, the B-sides consisted of cover versions of songs including Julee Cruise's "Falling" (the theme tune from Twin Peaks). A-side and B-side originally referred to the two sides of 7 inch Vinyl records on which singles were released beginning in the 1950s Julee Cruise (born 1 December 1956, in Creston Iowa) is an American singer, and Actress.

Strange Fruit Records was Independent record label in the United Kingdom. When they re-emerged in early 1994 with the news that they had signed to Island Records, it was quickly followed by the announcement that Gregory had left the band, due to lack of enthusiasm, and was replaced by Darren Belk.

No further albums were recorded for Island, and the best part of 1995 was spent the same way as 1993: touring, writing new material, no recording. Paul Dorrington decided to quit the band; no replacement was made as Belk moved up from bass to guitar. In the autumn of 1995, The Wedding Present released "Sucker", a self-financed, no-label single that was sold at their gigs only (it has since been included on the international editions of their next album). Shortly after, the band signed with independent label Cooking Vinyl. Cooking Vinyl is a UK -based Independent record company, founded in 1986.

The Cooking Vinyl era (1995-1997/99)

The band, still a three-piece, recorded their newly written material and issued the car-themed six-track mini-album, Mini. Belk played both guitar and bass on the songs but struggled at the lead instrument. Shortly after releasing the album, Jayne Lockey, who had already sung backing vocals on Mini, was announced as the band's new bass player. Belk decided to quit the band and was replaced by Simon Cleave.

The band still had material from their sabbatical year and went into the studio again to record Saturnalia. Saturnalia is the first studio Album by The Gutter Twins, a collaboration between Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan. This proved to be the last new material by The Wedding Present for a long time.
