Unbearable The mid to late eighties was a peculiar time for bands in the UK. It wasn't good enough that you could pen a decent tune and reproduce it at the drop of a hat you had to be about something and you had to be from somewhere. Taking this curious 1980's ruling as given. The Wonder Stuff were 'Grebos' which essentially meant you were about growing your hair and drinking lager. And as for where they were from? They inherited Stourbridge and for no small reason. Stourbridge was indeed the home of three fifths of Pop Will Eat Itself running mates of The Wonder Stuff. The Wonder Stuff would have found it nigh impossible to escape the attentions of London's major label community. That and the fact the entire A&R flock were all at their debut headline show in the Capital at Camden's Dingwalls. They signed with a major in late 1987. This was a band formed out of youthfulness out of a collective short attention span but now here they were on a fourth album in 1993 now in their late 20's and early 30's living the dream fully conscious of the contradictions of the game they were in. Summer 1994 they called it a day. It took them six years of not writing together not recording together and not playing together to finally realise what it was that was so good about The Wonder Stuff. They were a fantastic live band. Simple as that. And judging by the reactions since reforming for live shows in 2000 they still are. This DVD comprises of eighteen months in The Wonder Stuff's lifetime. A life without new releases and endless promotional schedules. A life doing the gigs for the very sake of doing the gigs and nothing else. After all it's what they're best at.
