About The Wonder Stuff
October 1993 saw the release of The Wonder Stuff’s fourth album ‘Construction For The Modern Idiot’ which hit number 4 in the UK chart. The record features hits ‘On The Ropes’, ‘Hot love Now’ and ‘Full of Life (Happy Now)’.
30 years on the record has been rereleased in multiple formats and still stands up as one of the most important indie albums of all time, inspiring a myriad of British and US artists.
This year, the twelve legged groove machine will be hitting the road again, playing 2 sets each night. They will perform ‘Construction For The Modern Idiot’ in its entirety before playing a full set of hits, classics and rarities from their extensive 37 year catalogue.
Alongside front man Miles Hunt on guitar and vocals is only other surviving original member Malcolm Treece on guitar, the longest standing fiddle player Erica Nockalls, Mark Gemini-Thwaite (The Mission, Tricky, Theatre of Hate) on guitar, Eat’s Tim Sewell on bass and Pete Howard (The Clash, Queen Adreena, EAT) on drums.
Since the band’s formation is 1986 The Wonder Stuff really has had an amazing journey so far, selling millions of albums worldwide and continuing to record and tour internationally. The band has remained at the top of their game and continue to play with a passion and attitude that has set them apart from most of their contemporaries.
