7:30 PMDescription:
The Wedding Present will be touring in 2012 to promote their hugely anticipated eighth studio LP, their first for four years… but will also be playing their 1991 album ‘Seamonsters’ in full. ‘Seamonsters’ was their most successful album in North America… and the first to be recorded for them by Steve Albini (at Pachyderm Disc studios in Minnesota). North American audiences have been begging The Wedding Present to play this critically acclaimed album live ever since the band started their ‘classic album’ tours in 2007, so expectations are sky high.
This is a general admission, standing event. Happy hour from 6:30pm to 7:30pm.

Artists
The Wedding Present
“The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Era. You may dispute this, but I’m right and you’re wrong!” John Peel.
The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles… not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry’s game. That was back in 1985 when David Lewis Gedge boarded a National Express coach in London with 500 records packed into a pair of his mother's suitcases. In this fashion, the debut single GO OUT AND GET 'EM BOY! was collected from the pressing plant, delivered to the distribution company, and The Wedding Present was born. That pioneering spirit has been at the core of the band's philosophy ever since. From GEORGE BEST, "an unmitigated delight" [NME], the first full-length release on their own Reception Records onwards, the band has charted an appealing, if often eccentric, course of its very own.
