The Sundays
BIOGRAPHY
The band΄s genesis came with the meeting of Wheeler and guitarist David Gavurin at university in Bristol. Wheeler had played gigs with the band Jim Jiminee [1][dubious – discuss]. The duo soon augmented the band with bassist Paul Brindley and drummer Patrick Hannan.
The Sundays were widely heralded by the British press after early gigs in London in 1988, drawing comparisons with Cocteau Twins and The Smiths. The group΄s first single, "Can΄t Be Sure", was released in 1989 and was voted number one in John Peel΄s Festive Fifty that year.
The band achieved a measure of success in 1990 with its debut album, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, which went gold in the UK and U.S. Subsequent albums Blind (1992) and Static and Silence (1997) also went gold in the United States.
Patrick Hannan played Drums for Star 69 (band) and Arnold.
Gavurin formed a friendship with the comedian David Baddiel when growing up in North London, which would lead to the Sundays providing the song "Another Flavour" (sans vocals) from Static and Silence as the theme tune to the Newman and Baddiel in Pieces TV series.
The band has been on a lengthy hiatus since the release of Static and Silence; Wheeler and Gavurin are focusing on raising their two children.
