The Wedding Present June 1990 interview + live Granadaland

Early Canadian TV interview (Gedge and Peter Solowka) featuring some of the performances (snippet of "Corduroy" and portion of "Granadaland") from their June 19, 1990 Lee's Palace gig in Toronto, Canada. Plus a few segments from the Kennedy vid and of course a slice of the obligatory mistake of some ignorant production hack who added a snippet of the Pixies "Monkey..." video thinking it's the Weddoes (cringe).

Nice. Thanks for upping that interview.

Good plug for the Pixies, too. Oh my god if I could go back to those days.....

lol, will do :)

in which case ask him if it is possible that my hearing is still damaged from standing next to the speaker stack at the Wedding Present gig at the Forum in 1989 ? "Bewitched" was to blame.

Pete soloka's a science teacher at my school now :P

[nevesytnewt]

I loved that. Thanks MCM

btw, the Pixies being in there wasn't a mistake. It comes right before Gedge mentions why they chose Steve Albini to produce their (then) latest album--because they liked his work on Surfer Rosa.

And yeah, "Monkey" doesn't come from that Pixies album. :)
