Whatever happened to...The Sundays

[Orang Utan]

I like my interpretation better -
it's that little souvenir of a beautiful year
which makes my arse feel sore
oh I never should have said, the fucks that you deed
were all I loved you for

 

[Dubversion]

Not if i meet her first.

Excellent band with some great songs. Am getting annoyed with my local radio station who keep playing the Tin Tin Out cover of Heres Where The Story Ends, play the original you heathen swines.

Whatever happened to...The Sundays

 

[Superape]

I bought their first album purely on the strength of the cover & I still enjoy listening to it from time to time.

"England my country the home of the free, and miserable weather.."

 

[Orang Utan]

is he?!!?!!?

where?

O'Malley's and Decades

 

[Geri]

I remember going to a soldout Bristol Bierkeller back in 1989 on the offchance of getting a ticket, without luck.

I was at that gig. My then boyfriend went to Bristol Uni with Harriet Wheeler, and he was convinced that she was looking at him throughout the whole gig. Twat!

Didn't they reform recently? I'm sure I saw them on something, and she still had the same hairdo 15 years later.

 

[Hi-ASL]

They is nice forever.

Unless they come back.

O'Malley's and Decades

whoops.

 

[alexjames]

only song ive heard was a duet with jarvis cocker?

 

[Bodmass]

My era and I was into the indie scene of the time but tbh I never really liked em, all a bit twee for me....

If I booked the Sundays, there'd be queues stretching back to the Dogstar.

Maybe. I went to see All About Eve a few years ago (in a small-ish town with few gigs) and was surprised how few people there were. Many people from that scene have moved on- either into other music or don't go to gigs anymore.

Let's be honest: time hasn't been quite so kind to All About Eve's music.

 

[Dubversion]

precisely - a different audience and a different band.

Yes...even at the time, I used to listen to them in strict privacy, and with a red face

 

[Bodmass]

precisely - a different audience and a different band.

Sure. I was merely pointing out the fact that absence doesn't neccesarily make the heart grow fonder. Sometimes people just lose interest.

 

[editor]

Seems crazy that Harriet Wheeler is 50 now...

 

[butcher]

Didn't they become the Saturdays?

 

[ouchmonkey]

like a lot of bands I fell too quickly in love with in the 80's they never really lived up to their early promise did they?
Can't Be Sure is a near perfect single, B-side was great too.
I saw them support the Muses as well and they were wonderful
but then it was just more of the same only slightly less so until they stopped..

at least they didn't go the same way as the cockin' Cranberries

 

[The Octagon]

Their 'Wild Horses' cover is ace.

 

[Supine]

I can officially announce that they've been living in my MP3 player for the last two years

Seven years on and I'm still here - reading the same threads!

 

[editor]

Anyone desperate for a fresh Sundays fix may find some solace in the Lanterns On The Lake 'Until The Colours Run' which is certainly
reminiscent of the band.

 

[editor]

Somewhat improbably, a new interview with the band has appeared in an American Airlines' in-flight mag.

There's a suggestion that they might consider playing live again, but I wouldn't hold your breath on that score.

[Miss Caphat]

Just heard "Summertime" being piped out of the fast food chicken place when I was out walking a few minutes ago

 

[Utopia]

Great band…….reminds me of my ever so slightly romantic/melancholic teens!, loved the Cranberries too.

 

[editor]

'Here's where the story ends' just came on in a cafe I'm sitting in. What a lovely song that is.

 

[Smokeandsteam]

This thread is like the band itself.

Small vignettes - a radio play here, an airline mag interview there.

Vague rumours of a reform float around in the air whilst others reminisce about bittersweet memories of another time

All of the above takes place over time - with years and years of silence where literally nothing is said or done - and in fact tangibly nothing actually ever happens.

Best urban thread ever, it’s actually become the subject it exists to discuss!

 

[skyscraper101]

After reading this thread I’ve just decided to put on on Reading, Writing and Arithmetic this morning and it’s currently playing through my Bluetooth speaker via Spotify, I’ve never really given it a whole listen and they seemed to have largely passed me by back in the day.

 

[Supine]

Might give it a listen as well. Been years...

 

[marty21]

Listening to the 1st album now , the only one I actually bought, still beautiful.
