Wymeswold, Leicestershire, United Kingdom (1998 – present)

London based rock trio, consisting of David Tattersall, Franic Rozycki and Johnny Helm.

The first line-up of the band came together in Wymeswold, Leicestershire, United Kingdom in 1998. They recorded and self-released a string of albums before finally settling in London with the current line-up.

After the release of “Sophie” (2006) on Smoking Gun Records, the band signed a two record deal with the London independent label Moshi Moshi records. Their first album for the label, “Instant Coffee Baby” was released in 2008. The follow up (provisionally titled “I Swam Out To Greet You”) is due in 2009.

“Thank god for the Wave Pictures, life would be so much duller without them.” - Robin Warren.

For those interested, they've just released the digital-only Pigeon EP on iTunes and the Moshi Moshi site. Sounds pretty special so far.

I might have missed them without Last.fm. When checking out my neighbours I noticed someone had them as one of their favourite artists so I decided to check them out. I'm so glad I did as they are brilliant. I got to see them (minus Franic) supporting Jeff Lewis last month in Sheffield.

I've seen the Waves over a dozen times this year and I pine every week I don't get to see them :-( Dave Tattersall has got to be one of the most talented musicians in existence ... I'm sure they're going to be huge... so everyone who manages to catch the Waves as we do now, at small venues, treasure the experience for life :-)
