The Sundays made a huge splash in the musical world in the ‘90s with three incredible albums, but the band decided to take a break in the late ‘90s after the release of their third album leaving their fans hungry for more.
The Sundays formed their band after guitarist, David Gavurin, met lead singer Harriet Wheeler, in college. None of the members of the group had strong musical backgrounds, but they were fascinated with the idea of experimenting by composing music. Their experimentation seemed to happen in an organic fashion void of distraction and fueled by creativity, and the result was phenomenal. Their music had a dream like quality about it that conveyed shimmering guitar licks layered in chorus effects, crisp clean acoustic guitars, and Wheeler’s beautiful, angelic voice. Wheeler’s singing style often resembled the soft, lush voice of Kate Bush, and the band’s atmospheric sound is also comparable to something you might hear from the Cranberries or Cocteau Twins.
The band had great dynamics whenever they took the stage. Paul Brindley’s bass playing was presented with deep, warm tones that glued the rest of the music together. Patrick Hannan always kept a steady beat with his drumming, and was quick to incorporate some interesting fills. David Gavurin often played on an acoustic guitar strumming in a quick, rhythmic pattern and playing trebly leads. Harriet Wheeler was at the front of the stage and the star of the show. She was always amazing audiences with her great vocal range and beautiful, delicate delivery.
Although the Sundays haven’t played a gig in years, there has recently been rumors that they are working on new material, and new material often means the likelihood of performances. We can only keep are fingers crossed that the Sundays will come out of hibernation and dazzle audiences once again with their breath taking music.
Here's where the story ends...' or possibly re-starts. This girl-fronting English rock band are gigging again and hopefully writting a follow up to their third and latest album 'Static and Silence.' This band have smears of 90's sound all over them so it will be interesting to see what The Sundays are like in 2014. Their live sets are chilled with sweet melodies floating around the room. Harriets gracious delicate voice is relaxing whilst also powering.
Classic numbers like 'Here's where the story ends' and 'Summertime' will surely be the tunes of the night, the ones you tell everyone about the next day at work. But hopefully new material is spawning out of The Sundays machine and if it goes down well live then The Sundays could be back in our hearts in no time.
