The Wendys formed in Edinburgh in 1987, they were the second Scottish band to be signed to Factory Records. As an unsigned band they gained a support slot with Happy Mondays and on the back of the shows were encouraged to send a demo to messrs Wilson & co. It was a short-lived career, consisting of three singles, an EP and an album called Gobbledygook that was produced by Ian Broudie, but sadly their time with the label coincided with the severe financial difficulties which ultimately led to its demise in November 1992.
They also featured on the Factory Tape, a 1991 cassette given away free with Select magazine. This was their contribution.

The band disappeared off the radar for a long time but came back in 1999 to release a second LP, Sixfootwingspan, on Starshaped Records. They reformed briefly in 2012 for a one-off gig in Glasgow to promote the re-release of Gobbledygook and other singles, and five years later were on the bill of the Shiiine ON Weekender festival in Minehead that took place between Friday 10 November and Monday 13 November 2017
Guitarist Ian White is currently involved with Sons of the Descent, a duo that I’ve been more than happy to give space to on the blog.

I saw them on a bill with The Fall and Cabaret Voltaire at Birmingham Town Hall in the early 90s. Thought they were petty good
