Looking forward to the WonderStuff comeback?

They're making a comeback at Christmas, to pay their old tax bills, playing 10 nights at Wembley or something. They were on 'Sean's Shorts' once, so that's the TV connection.

Didn't Miles Hunt set up a band with someone.. erm.. probably Billy Duffy out of the Cult, and say they were never going to release any singles. Or something. A while back.

What did they call themselves? Some sort of combination of the words "Hunt" and "Cult", no doubt. Like, er, "The Hult". Probably.

Unfortunately, they were called Vent 414, although The Hult would have been a far superior name.
Apparently Duffy was only briefly in the band, but in a twist of fate, one member was Morgan Nicholls, formerly of Senseless Things.
Blimey.

That was Vent (originally Vent 404). Duffy scarpered early on. They did make an album with Steve Albini.
The rest of the band got together with Ange Doolottle (formerly of Eat, another bunch of mediocrities), and formed Weknowwhereyoulive.
Surprisingly, neither of these groups were very successful.

Thank you Ewar! I'm in a right knobby mood thanks to having an cold already and that made me cackle like Grotbags.
Gawd bless your big-faced fabness!

In a word, no.
Sorry...
