CINERAMA is the group formed by
The Wedding Present's David
Gedge, "one of the most
consistently brilliant songwriters in Britain" [NME].
Cinerama's debut long player, VA VA VOOM,
was released in 1998 to universal critical acclaim. The Melody Maker
described the album as "pop, as it should always be written…"
while the NME joked that Gedge had transformed himself with his "string-kissed
serenades and lounge-core laments." The daily papers were no
less kind: "turbo-driven melodies and bittersweet vignettes taking
in everything from John Barry to the Zombies," bubbled The Times
enthusiastically, while The Daily Mail noted that "the only real
surprise is not the quality, but that it took so long for Gedge to
try something new."
Cinerama will be performing some Wedding
Present songs at their performance at The
Great American Music Hall. |
