About Jamie Wednesday
Jamie Wednesday were a British 1980's jangle-pop band, formed in Streatham, South London in 1984, that released eight songs on two records between 1985 and 1986. At first they were called The Ballpoints and then Dead Clergy before settling on Jamie Wednesday. The band consisted of James "Jim Bob" Morrison (acoustic guitar, lead vocals), Les Carter (bass guitar, backing vocals), Dean Leggett (Drums and percussion), Lindsey Lowe (Trumpet), Simon Henry (Saxophone). Jamie Wednesday recorded and released two EPs and contributed to two compilations on the Pink Records label but they never sold well and the band remained virtually unknown. In an interesting sidenote, Jamie Wednesday are responsible for the name of the band Pop Will Eat Itself when an article about Jamie Wednesday in the NME, written by David Quantick mentioned that pop music is ever-recycling its ideas and that eventually, pop will eat itself. Jamie Wednesday split up in 1987 just before a scheduled appearance at an opening gig. James Morrison and Leslie Carter stuck together and filled in for that gig. Thus was Carter USM born. James and Leslie became Jim Bob and Fruitbat respectively.
