Wheat - John Peel session
Broadcast on BBC Radio 1 FM on 31 May 2000. (only session, recorded on 7 May 2000)
Wheat released their first album in 1997 on the Sugar Free Records label. The follow up from the Massachusetts band 'Hope And Adams' came out in 1999 on the German based City Slang label, home to contemporary bands such as Calexico, Lambchop and Yo La Tengo
Led by Scott Levesque, Wheat have been described as containing elements of Mercury Rev, Will Oldham, Smog & the Radar Bros. One reviewer noted them as being like a more reflective Pavement and resembling a smokier version of the Flaming Lips!
There is an individuality to them despite all these flattering musical references and if you like the above mentioned bands then you may find this Peel session enjoyable.

The last few posts have featured small files because I am currently having problems uploading. It's been extremely slow and I intend to switch from the laptop to my standalone PC which has a direct connection to my router and see if that is any faster.
