  • The Sundays were an English alternative rock band, formed in the late 1980s, which released three albums throughout the 1990s. The band's beginnings came with the meeting of singer Harriet Wheeler and guitarist David Gavurin while attending Bristol University. Wheeler had played gigs with Cruel Shoes, an early incarnation of the band Jim Jiminee. The duo soon augmented the band with bassist Paul Brindley and drummer Patrick Hannan. The Sundays secured a recording contract with Rough Trade Records. Their debut single was "Can't Be Sure". Their first album, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, was released in 1990, along with their next single "Here's Where the Story Ends", and became a UK top 5 hit. The band were often missidentified as being The Primitives another UK based alternative rock band from Coventry as their vocalists had very similar voices. With Rough Trade's financial troubles and the band's decision to manage themselves, the Sundays' next single, "Goodbye", did not emerge until 1992. Their next album, Blind, arrived the same year, reaching the UK top 15. The single "Love" reached number 2 on the US Modern Rock charts. The band toured in support of these recordings. In 1997 their third album, Static & Silence, was followed by the release of their most successful single to date, "Summertime", which made the UK top 15. The album itself reached the UK top 10. However, the band has been on a lengthy hiatus since those releases, with Wheeler and Gavurin focusing on raising their two children. (en)

  • The Sundays foi uma banda britânica de dream pop formada em 1987, em Londres, Inglaterra, pela vocalista e compositora Harriet Wheeler (n. 26 de junho de 1966) e pelo guitarrista e compositor David Gavurin (n. 4 de abril de 1966). Wheeler e Gavurin se encontraram quando ainda estavam na faculdade, período em que começaram a compor juntos. Em agosto de 1988, sob o nome The Sundays, o casal fez sua primeira apresentação no Vertigo Club, em Camden, Londres. Os comentários boca-a-boca dessa apresentação foram excelentes e, em pouco tempo, eles já eram saudados como o próximo grande sucesso no cenário musical. Foi então que Paul Brindley (n. 6 de novembro de 1966) e Patrick Hannan (n. 4 de março de 1969) entraram para a banda como instrumentistas. Em seguida, The Sundays assinou um contrato com a Rough Trade Records, do Reino Unido. De 1987 a 1997, o grupo lançou três álbuns muito bem recebidos pela crítica e pelo público. Depois do lançamento de “Static & Silence”, Harriet Wheeler e David Gavurin se casaram. Eles têm um casal de filhos. The Sundays planeja descansar durante alguns anos. Ao que parece, a banda não aparecerá com material novo num futuro tão próximo… Uma de suas músicas, "Wild Horses" (Rolling Stones), foi usada como tema das personagens Buffy e Angel na série Buffy a Caça Vampiros no Episódio "O Baile de Formatura" (The Prom) 20° da 3° Temporada.
