I have to be honest - before about a month ago, I had not thought about Wednesday Week in decades. Then, strangely, because I was looking at other artists and other music - specifically, Don Dixon. Don Dixon, you see, was a great producer, probably best known for his work with R.E.M. and The Smithereens.
He also produced the Wednesday Week debut album, What We Had. And he wrote this song. Wednesday Week was a band that went through a lot of iterations and names before they got to this particular one, but the core of the Los Angeles band was the Callan sister - Kelly and Kristi. They made a couple of albums before breaking up - and becoming another band, called Lucky.
The band's name comes from an Undertones song, and this song, which was also featured in the movie Slumber Party Massacre 2, is their best known.
The band did break up in 1990, but they got back together in 1998 and STILL occasionally perform. This is from a reunion show in 2014.
Also, I kinda hope they get together again. I really enjoyed my trip down memory lane.
