Movie & Music

The Sundays are a wonderful band hailing out of Manchester, England.
The quartet was originally a duo; David and Harriet met while at university in Bristol.
"Staying up late, talking a complete load of bullocks, it was great" says Harriet.
Both began writing songs while at university and continued after graduating.

The two brought friends Paul Brindley, bassist, and drummer Patrick Hannan on board, and the Sundays were born.
By just their second show, critics and industry insiders had labeled the band the "next big thing" and the Sundays found themselves deluged with record offers.
They eventually signed with Rough Trade records, home of indie legends The Smiths.

Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic was released in 1989 to critical and commercial success.
The album was an exquisite texture of gilded guitar work blended with Wheeler's atmospheric vocals.
Comparisons were made to Cocteau Twins, 10,000 Maniacs, and Lush. The band established a loyal fan base in England and abroad.
They followed the album with a tour of the states as well as Japan and UK opening for Belly.

Following their 1990-91 tour, the band stayed very quiet until late 1992 with their sophomore release Blind.
Somewhat darker and more serious than Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, the album ventured to explore the unseen side of life.

Unfortunately for fans, the band disappeared for 5 years during which there has been a dearth of information. Harriet and David, who have been together for over 10 years, recently had a child and built their a music studio in their own home.
They finally broke the silence with a new album in 1997 aptly named Static & Silence.
The Sundays followed up a brief tour of the US and England in Fall 1997.
At this time, further tour plans and releases are not known.
The Sundays completed a US tour in the fall of 1997 in support of "Static & Silence".

During that tour, the band stated that they planned to do a European tour in '98 and perhaps another round in the US.
