1305.0. "Wonder Stuff, WhereAreTheyNow?" by CHEFS::UKFURNITURE () Tue May 30 1995 17:18

    If anyone is interested, the ex-members of the Wonder Stuff, are nearly
    all involved in new projects...
    
    WeKnowWhereYouLive played to a full house at the last ever gig at the
    Windsor Old Trout, where the likes of Faith No More have recently
    played. The band consisting of Ange Dolittle ex of Eat, and Paul Clifford,
    Malc Treece and Martin Gilks ex the Wonder Stuff, played a a set
    consiting entirely of new material in an 'Eat' stylee.
    
    Vent, the 3 piece fronted by Miles Hunt, have recently recorded demos
    that are much harder in sound than the Wonder Stuff.

So sorry to interrupt you, Mr/Miss/Mrs/Ms Furniture, but would you be so 
awfully kind as to tell us who you are?  Topic 5, I believe...

What I want to know is, what does the `U' stand for?
Pants,

Chris.
1305.3CHEFS::UKARCHIVINGWed Jun 28 1995 15:442
    New Wonder Stuff album imminent....recorded live @ GMEX in Dec 1991.
    Vent & WeKnowWhereYouLive will both play Reading Festival.
1305.4CHEFS::UKARCHIVINGwhose file is it anyway?Tue Apr 16 1996 15:059
    Vent are about to start recording their first album with Steve (I
    caused Dave Gedge to get a slap off Courtney Love) Albini. Having heard
    a couple of their demos, I can confidently say this is not The Wonder
    Stuff II.
    
    Miles Hunt and his manager (Tank, former Ned's Atomic Dustbin manager
    and occasional XFM DJ) have started a new record label called 'For All
    The Right Reasons', who have not signed Redwood (contrary to what the
    NME says).
1305.5CHEFS::FIDDLER_MThe sense of being dulls my mindTue Apr 16 1996 15:154
    All sounds good...what do these demos sound like?  Has Miles grown his
    hair again?

1305.6CHEFS::UKARCHIVINGwhose file is it anyway?Tue Apr 16 1996 15:355
    The sound is fairly 'hardcore' but veering towards the melodic side.
    Miles (due to baldness/straightedge kudos) has shaved all his hair off.
    
    He currently lives in a house, a very big house, in the country
    (Shropshire) 
1305.7CHEFS::FIDDLER_MThe sense of being dulls my mindTue Apr 16 1996 15:376
    Sounds reasonable, anyone from Wolverhampton (or thereabouts) has a
    soft spot for Shropshire.  I even had some Shropshire Blue cheese and a
    biscuit for my tea last night.

1305.8Vent 414 22/6/96 Bristol Fleece & FirkinCHEFS::UKARCHIVINGfor once in my fileTue Jul 23 1996 14:519
    Saw Vent last night at the Fleece and Firkin in Bristol and they were
    very good, powerful but not overbearing, tight sound without being too
    tight. The songs are unlikely to appeal to a mass market, but are not
    too 'difficult' to listen to. Very promising especially as no Wonder
    Stuff songs were played.
    
    dickie.
    
    A single, Fixer, should be out around the 19th of August.
1305.9Probably a robbery=Scooby Snax n'est pas?CHEFS::UKARCHIVINGfor once in my fileMon Jul 29 1996 20:246
    Anyone who is interested might like to listen to Radcliffe and the Boy
    Lard tonight on wunnerfulwuneffemm as Vent are doing a session.
    
    dickie.
    
    A single 'Fixer' is out shortly.
1305.10CHEFS::UKARCHIVINGMaster of cracked foot style.Tue Mar 11 1997 14:598
    Vent 414 are still around but rapidly mutating into The Wonder Stuff.
    Miles is still there, Morgan (bassist) has left to play with Robbie
    Williams' new band, Pete Howard (drummer) ex-Eat is still there, new boy
    is...Malcolm Treece (guitarist) ex of, urrr, the Wonder Stuff.
    
    Expect new material this summer.
    
    dickie.

    Are we talking "new" new material, or "derivative" new material?

1305.12CHEFS::UKARCHIVINGMaster of cracked foot style.Wed Mar 12 1997 12:084
    Definately 'new' new material, Miles has got that 'Big Black'/Steve
    Albini thing out of his system now.
