WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

under the cover's on sunday #3 (with The Wonderstuff)

Posted over 2 years ago
The Wonderstuff's cover of The Jam's "That's Entertaiment". (B-Side of Welcome To The Cheap Seats )The original line-up was Miles Hunt (whose uncle Bill Hunt was keyboard player with Wizzard), Malcolm Treece, Rob "The Bass Thing" Jones (died 1993) and Martin Gilks (died 2006). The group originated from an earlier collaboration with group members of Pop Will Eat Itself (aka PWEI), called From Eden, which had Miles Hunt on the drums.In 1990, Martin Bell, an accomplished fiddle and banjo instrumentalist, joined the band and Paul Clifford replaced Rob Jones on the bass. Martin had contributed the fiddle and banjo on the earlier Hup album (1989), notably on tracks Golden Green, Unfaithful and Cartoon Boyfriend.The group scored a rare, but predictable, commercial success when they covered Tommy Roe's Dizzy with Vic Reeves in 1991, reaching the top of the charts for two weeks. The band initially split on July 14, 1994 at the Phoenix Festival near Stratford-on-Avon but reformed for a few live tours from 2000 onwards.
