The Trouble With Men
Chromewaves (Free subscription) | 07/14/2008
Photo by Catherine Wygal It's understandable if you lumped the return of The Wedding Present a few years ago as part of the ongoing series of '80s band reunions, though as I pointed out they never really went away, just changed their name for a bit. Regardless, that was the angle with which most approached 2005's Take Fountain , a fine record to be sure though I'd maintain that the two preceding Cinerama...

O, es nada, cosas de mujeres
motel de moka (Free subscription) | 07/11/2008
I was very influenced by the makeup of Claudia Cardinale in a film where she had very dark eyeliner. As soon as we hit on that for Penélope, everything changed. It was also very important to have an ample cleavage enhanced by strategically placed medallions, because that’s one of the key images of Spanish motherhood, [...]

Why We Love Birdmonster
Some Velvet Blog (Free subscription) | 07/09/2008
No, the new Birdmonster song isn't a George Thorogood or Tommy Conwell cover. It happens to be a hot little driving guitar number in the tradition of The Wedding Present and 20th Century Man-era Kinks. Nice. It comes from their forthcoming album, From The Mountain To The Sea which will be released on the FADER Label digitally on August 5, and record stores on September 2. Does anybody record stores?...

Why is The Waitsing Room a Muslim? Because it’s all covered up of course! Get it, get it? Fuck me that was poor, apologies to absolutely everyone involved - shambolic rubbish. What prompted that garbaggio? Well this week me old mate DC (who has taken somewhat obscure exception to my [...]

The Wedding Present - more 2008 Tour Dates (Bowery)
Brooklyn Vegan (Free subscription) | 07/01/2008
Formed in 1985, the band quickly rocketed to success, due in large part to being seen as the likely successors to the Smiths' throne. Their debut, George Best, was well received, largely because of Gedge's highly personal, entirely autobiographical lyrics....

The Mosh Pit - Simon Armitage
History is made at night (Free subscription) | 06/30/2008
I enjoyed reading Gig - the Life and Times of a Rock-star Fantasist by the poet Simon Armitage . A man whose 'definition of a good gig' is 'more legs in the air than arms', his experience at a gig by The Wedding Present at Holmfirth Picturedrome in Yorkshire causes him to reflect on the mosh pit: 'the mosh pit is a community within a community and has a structure of its own, with a hard core of participants...
