Thought Gedge and another member were rags from north Manchester/Middleton who formed the Wedding Present while at Leeds university? Sure I read somewhere that before then, they were in a group which later went on to be the great lost Manc band The Chameleons (far superior to the WP in my opinion, but never got the same breaks).
Loved the band's sound but could never get on with the singer's voice to be fair - a bit like the Smiths in fact. Still, good to see the old names from my youth still plugging away. Any new material or is it just a nostalgia tour?

'Seamonsters' was my fave album. You should also check out Cinerama - Gedge's follow-up band.

The tour is pretty much staged as a celebration of the 21st anniversary of Bizarro.

I'd love to see these guys... remember busting my nut trying so hard to get all twelve of the singles they released with cover songs on the b-sides... 1 a month I believe it was @ 94 or so...?
so many great songs
so many great songs
It was in 92 they released the 12 singles.
They'll be playing a few tracks before they play the whole of Bizarro.
I hope they play My Favourite Dress - not only because it's a class tune, but it contains the immortal lyrics, 'Some rare delight in Manchester town. It took 6 hours before you let me down'.
