Gabrielles Wish

Some news from Gabrielle's Wish, the band which supported New Order and blew me away with their sound, virtually Joy Division if they formed in the 90s (and actually they were produced by Chris Nagle, Martin Hannett's sound engineer, also on Unknown Pleasures and Movement), mixed with a bit of Section 25 and The Fall... it's a honour they wanted my fan site to become official... I'm really proud and happy to make available for the very first time three fantastic Gabrielles Wish tracks as MP3 files on the Sounds page. They are two absolutely storming live tracks and a fabulous instrumental demo. Also added is the second part of former manager Jeff Grainger's brilliant article about the band.

"...Gabrielle's Wish were Rob Gretton's favourite band, the LP he listened to every night when he got home was 'Processed' (their unreleased LP)..."

Their live version of Elegia, done on the same bill as us (and several other bands on the same bill) at Manchester's Roadhouse in July 2002 should still be on this site somewhere.

The Gabs defo did Elegia, screwed it up as well (like I can talk !). Drift did a 5 hour version of Isolation that had most of wishing to go home.

*Yes, it should be in the "Cover Archives" under "Media". It's wrongly titled Isolation (just copied from the band before)... But shit, I can't download it! Were they taken offline or is the server too busy? I'll try again later. The source is said to be a "Homage" CD, but was this CD actually released, did it exist or is it just your CDR of the night? Which was your band?

Actually there should be the whole night, also with Hedzjellmo, the band of former Gabrielles Wish drummer Nick Harris. But shit, I can't download them!

It was just a CDR. I was on guitar in No.1 Blue Murder (Truth), was the solo (piss) artist Fred West, and was on bass in Perfect Kiss with the Ice Cream Bandits. My colleague in Known Pleasures, Jim Reilly did bass and vocals on Truth and vocals on Perfect Kiss.
