Last.All The Audioscrobbler That's Fit To Print.That was back in 1985 when David Lewis Gedge boarded a National Express coach in London with 500 records packed into a pair of his mother's suitcases.The Wedding Present was born.With the early releases on their own label The Wedding Present acquired a reputation for bittersweet, breathtakingly honest love songs immersed in whirlwind guitars, so it was extraordinary that UKRAINSKI VISTUPI V JOHNA PEELA, with the band exploring traditional Eastern European folk music, should be the major label debut on RCA.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.By the end of December, The Wedding Present had released twelve singles, one per 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" and led the NME to describe the band as "casually revolutionary and underhandedly unique".Although the record sold several thousand copies and reached No.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 started work on a new project called CINERAMA.SUPERMAN (complete with alternative Spanish take) and the six and a half minute epic HEALTH AND EFFICIENCY (also available in French!The third Cinerama studio album, TORINO (released in 2002), was much darker than the first two, with Gedge returning to a guitar driven sound and deciding to write predominantly about infidelity.Gedge has never before assimilated harsh rock textures to orchestral arrangements with such power.Fans have long since recognised Gedge as more poet than pop star.The Wedding Present set out on a mammoth twenty month concert tour of Europe and North America which included most of the major festivals and ended in November 2006."Are you sure you want to delete this comment?"Listening at your music is taking a trip in a land I've never been before.Best regards from France !One of my friends has a huge crush on you!Sorry about the impromptu message any chance I can ask you a favour ...We went to the studio on Sunday and nailed down the next five tracks which is always a good thing ...Thanks for the add, much appreciated!Welcome to the MAD world that is Beavis Maplin at www.Please come back to Chicago.I'll be waiting at the Double Door.Welcome to Living Atheist; the coolest music review site this side of the Moon.If you want your sound talked about, just drop us an email.Anyways hows life treating you ...Just stopping by to say hello!Hey The Wedding PresentHope you're goodNew 4 Track EP out EXCLUSIVE on beatport todayWith support from Kiss, Radio 1 and GalaxyHave a great weekendAngelx Also , Bermuda Triangle back cat now on these sites...Thanks a lot for being friends.Great news about El Rey.Venez avec vos amis et les amis de vos amis ; )Bises.Hello from this cold, dark corner of the UK.You can add us to your yahoo IM at:rockstarsgluedradioThanks!Word is that it's brilliant.This is not a MySpace login page, please do not enter your MySpace login information (email address or password).The Corn Exchange, Brighton, England, on Friday 30 May 2008.We are now pleased to tell you about another festival appearance.In honour of this new partnership, David Gedge and Terry de Castro have agreed to a special duet performance in Austin, Texas to help kick off the South By South West Music Festival for our new digital distributor, IODA.Other artists scheduled to play are Sean Hayes, Jason Collett, Chikita Violenta, Frightened Rabbit, Curumin, Modey Lemon, Chris Bathgate, Emily Jane White and Oliver Future.To hear this collection of music, go to www.Please note that is extremely unlikely that any further dates will be added to this tour.Derbyshire that The Wedding Present are headlining on July 26th.Cinerama on several occasions.Bush Empire on 20 November 2005.Isle Of Wight and in Derbyshire.The event takes place at the Swanwick Junction station site of the Midland Railway Butterley, Ripley, Derbyshire.Questions (and their answers) about the British
