I LOVE that KEXP LOVES The Wedding Present! I've discovered some amazing bands on KEXP's TH-cam channel since I stumbled on it a few months ago, and now to find that my old faves The Weddos performed live for KEXP makes me very happy indeed.
I've loved The Wedding Present for ever. Growing old doesn't change anything. It's just old. Im as much in love now as when I was 17. So many concerts and never enough time.
I'm now thinking along the lines of... If The Weddos make an up to date greatest hits, clear your harddrives because every song they ever made and make has to go on it! Every one's a bloody winner!
This girl fucked the drummer to get in the band I believe, he was married, there was also another " girl" bass player before her who wouldn't fuck the drummer ,she got kicked out .
Saw them live in '89 supporting themselves with a Ukrainian set and (must have been) Len on vocals, Dave off to one side on guitar! (Before The Ukrainians became a separate band.) Wonderful!!
Saw them in Berlin in 'Maria im Ostbahnhof'. Thought it was one of the last gigs they made. I'm not a fan, but they are unique and energetic, and that is at least something.
Well I've seen them about 15 times over the years from George Best through to Cinerama so I can detect the differences in their songs, can't you, really?
Graycoll5 motorhead The quote “All the songs sound the same” was a lighthearted comment referring to an ep and merchandise that was once available from The Wedding Present (posters, Tshirts etc..which had the line “All the songs sound the same” printed on!) I, like yourself, have seen The Wedding Present many times, including a very personal gig at my local pub in Oundle at the time of “Hit Parade” and they still remain one of my most listened to groups! (And your right, the songs dont sound the same) My original comment was meant as a joke!
I've never understood all the hype around this band. It's quite flat and boring. I struggled to hook up with 'Georgr Best', and it just didn't anything for me.

I had the same feeling again when I found Pixies on KEXP

Can't believe it's been 25 or so years since I saw The Wedding Present live! Gedge you are a legend!
I have forgotten just how good Flying Saucer is - saw them in '93 in Belfast, NI and one of the best gigs i ever attended
Man, I love this band...
It's The Wedding Present. And from Leeds. Bloody lovely.
素晴らしい演奏。何年かぶりに観たデヴィッド・ジェッジの変わらなさに感動をおぼえます。
Congratulations..you had the best band in the world play...I'm so jealous I wasn't there

Wonderful!!
Tight AF version of Give My Love To Kevin (ok, slight note drop at 1:42) They can fucking play.

I am not a fan LOL
So was Hitler and look how that ended up
best band from leeds ever, bridewells second best, nightmares on wax 3rd. kaiser chiefs are about 100000000th.
Gang of Four?
If I had a best friend I would want it to be Cheryl Waters: the coolest person ever! I just love her.
WIFE MATERIAL
I'm thinking more along the lines of chillin on a sunny day with some cool tunes and a fruit salad... ;)
Go out and get 'em grandpa!
It looks like he's performing in some shitty west coast cafe. He deserves more.
2 drum kits, sounds like the Fall from mid-late 80s
Do Sea monsters
is he like Tom Hanks?
I am Kaptain Klock
I am Kaptain Klock
Liam, Noel, Tomato, Tomato
What's with the "crowd"?
I expect is an invited only radio audience, rather than fans
worst crowd ever. not an original thought between them
Probably low key event
Didn't miss anything
Awful,,👎
and base
Please please pleeeeease bring back Pete Solowka or at least get someone who can play
Ha..... you miss Pete as well.... Fair enough, but I like all of the WP guitarists....
Liam Noel Tomato Tomato
Quite sad watching one of the finest bands to ever leave the shores of Britain playing to 20 disinterested looking Americans.
Everyone except the drummer looks incredibly bored.
All the songs sound the same!
Really?
Graycoll5 motorhead you obviously have never followed the Wedding Present!!!

private joke!
It is pitiful to see this old ass rocker with a millenial band and none of the original band members.
Think about that when you show up late for your shitty job - again.

Objectively: boring as hell.
Dictionary?
this band has definitely grown on me
