The Girl from the DDR - The Wedding Present

The Wedding Present are an indie rock group formed in Leeds, England in 1984. They evolved from the ashes of The Lost Pandas. Their music has evolved from fast-paced indie rock in the vein of their most obvious influences The Fall, Buzzcocks and Gang of Four, to more varied forms. Throughout their career, they have been led by vocalist and guitarist David Gedge, the band's only constant member. The Lost Pandas fell apart in 1984 when guitarist Michael Duane (later of DUSTdevils) was sacked, and Panda's drummer Jaz Rigby followed in protest.
