hairy Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 Roll on 26th May the wedding presentel rey The band returned from an eight year hiatus in 2004 with the release of ‘Take Fountain’. This long awaited album brought them back into the spotlight with all the style and sophistication associated with a legendary group, but fans were also pleased to see the band had lost none of the growling angst with which they had burst onto the scene with their 1985 debut, ‘George Best’. That intensity has been turned up even further for the new album, ‘El Rey’, The Wedding Present’s first collaboration with the legendary Albini since the renowned ‘Seamonsters’ in 1991. Written while David Gedge was living in Los Angeles, ‘El Rey’ burns with West Coast sunlight; Hollywood seen through the eyes of a gritty Northerner. Tracklisting 1. Santa Ana Winds 2. Spider-Man On Hollywood 3. I Lost The Monkey 4. Soup 5. Palisades 6. The Trouble With Men 7. Model, Actress, Whatever 8. Don't Take Me Home Until I'm Drunk 9. The Thing I Like Best About Him Is His Girlfriend (Santa Monica And La Brea Version) 10. Boo Boo 11. Swingers
Nationwider Posted 28 April 2008 Posted 28 April 2008 Can't wait. How the hell did he end up in LA though? Not very Gedge...
Trav Le Bleu Posted 24 June 2008 Posted 24 June 2008 Wedding Present are playing The Charlotte Dec 5th! http://www.thecharlotte.co.uk/december.htm
Daggers Posted 24 June 2008 Posted 24 June 2008 Its a bit shit to be honest It's a lot shit to be even honester. Boo Gedge. Boo. The last one was OK but a come down from Cinerama which IMHO is his high point. He needs to form a steady relationship and stick at it for a change, that's what he needs to do.
hairy Posted 24 June 2008 Author Posted 24 June 2008 Seamonsters was his high point and Albini's. Its the sound track to one of the best years so I am biased.
