The Wedding Present: In Studio

Soundcheck | Mar 20, 2012

British songwriter David Gedge founded his band The Wedding Present in Leeds in 1985. In the more than 15 years since, the pop group has had numerous Top 40 hits in the UK as well as an established place in the indie rock canon. Now, the band is touring the US with a brand new record, called “Valentina"… while also revisiting the 1991 record “Seamonsters” in its entirety. We’ll hear about both, when the band performs live in our studio.
