SOS 250a: A Conversation with David Gedge of The Wedding Present and Cinerama Previewing His Upcoming Tour and Our Epic Deep Dive into his Many Songwriting Eras

And yes, the episode title is needlessly long in tribute to the early days of David Gedge giving songs ridiculously long titles. 

Anyway, Paul Kelly of the great Indie band, The Martial Arts, and Rudy were just minding their own business recording their thoughts on David Gedge for a series of episodes about his great and varied songwriting when SOS friend Patrick Tape Fleming of the greatest Indie bands Poison Control Center and Gloom Balloon arranged for Paul and Rudy to talk to Gedge himself. Naturally, this was not an opportunity two fanboys could not resist. 

This discussion centers mostly on The Weddoe’s “Seamonsters”, since Gedge will be touring the US and Europe to celebrate that release’s *gulp* 35th anniversary. Think of this episode as a special preview of the proper “David Gedge Series” that starts next month, and motivation to get tickets to go see The Wedding Present perform “Seamonsters” in its beautiful entirety along with many more TWP classics.
