Biography:
The Wedding Present are an indie rock group formed in Leeds, England in 1984. They evolved from the ashes of The Lost Pandas. Their music has evolved from fast-paced indie rock in the vein of their most obvious influences The Fall, Buzzcocks and The Go-Betweens, to more varied forms. Throughout their career, they have been led by vocalist and guitarist David Gedge, the band's only constant member.
The Lost Pandas fell apart in 1984 when guitarist Michael Duane (later of dustDevils) was sacked, and Panda's drummer Jaz Rigby followed in protest.

"Pleasant Valley Sunday"
(Gerry Goffin - Carole King)
Covered by The Wedding Present
Verse 1:
F#
The local rock group down the street
G#
Is trying hard to learn their song
F#
They serenade the weekend squire
G#
Who just came out to mow his lawn
Chorus 1:
A D A D
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
A D A D
Charcoal burning everywhere
D flat F# B A# G#
Rows of houses that are all the same
B G#
And no-one seems to care
Verse 2:
See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
And Mr. Green, he's so serene
He's got a TV in every room
Chorus 2:
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Bridge:
D flat
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray
To places far away
I need a change of scenery
Chorus 3:
A D A D
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
A D A D
Charcoal burning everywhere
D flat F# D flat F#
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
D flat F# D flat
Here in status symbol land
F# [w/intro riff]
