History edit
Wevie Stonder first began making music in 1979 at the age of 6, by recording some chickens down an old army telephone onto a cassette recorder, accompanied by a 3 stringed acoustic guitar.
They regrouped in 1993 with an Amstrad Studio 100 4 track, Casio PT 82 and an electric bass to record a failed cover version of "I Just Called To Say I love You" and various other audio experiments, which were inserted into Brighton Music Library on side B of a Steve Reich cassette, complete with its own Dewey Decimal Number.
Their debut LP Eat Your Own Ears (whose name was later taken by the London-based promotions company) led them to release a series of records on the Skam and Sonig labels and perform at electronic music nights and festivals around the UK and Europe, creating some confusion in the electronic music world and a fad for spoonerised names.
Wevie Stonder have played over 70 European live shows and recorded sessions for BBC Radio 1 & 3, and continue to work on new music and art in many different guises.
