The Wake – Heartburn

@barefootfun Dude… this was in the early 80s… Do you know all the songs before and after this one? Maybe you recognize a lot of their sound but maybe they influenced other not the other way around… So they were original in their day…

like this!

Just how derivative could a band POSSIBLY be??
There is not a single original element to this.

..another rare live track from the “Harmony” lp was ” the old men ” : played live in cardiff 29.1.83

cheers,mickey

With a classy short hair cut!!

A fantastic track played too fast for everyones liking but grt anyway for the footage….cool
Another Factory fan!!!!!!!

“heartburn” a track from the great first ” Harmony” lp. only this song from the album played live !!

factory fan, mickey

geeeeezzzz is that bobby G?lol

why is post-punk the best genre of music ever?

All of the singers sound so bored. It really kinda kills the mood.

i feel the same way i was born when this was already happening so i missed out.

If you look very closely, you can see the Bass player in the blue top is Boobby Gillespie of Primal Scream…

They called themselves “The Wake” because they were about as lively on stage as four corpses. What a glum lot.

I think they’re different to new order. Of course, you could say the cure ripped of joy division but I doubt people would. Just because they had a girl on keyboards and some synths it means nothing.

that being said, Johnny McElhone ended up forming TEXAS…….. which is a lot lot worse.

seriously. Now instead i’m condemned to forever emulate my post punk idols.

But yeah i have to say, i looked up The Wake because that’s what Caesr left Altered Images for and i think, really? Granted AI would start sucking within two records time but Happy Birthday and Pinky blue (the records) are gems. As for the Wake, half the time they sound like they’re ripping off New Order and the other half they sound like they should stick to ripping off New Order. This song is good, though.

God damn, I was born into a generation of mainstream crap……I mean rap music. Why couldn’t I have been part of the post-punk movement?!

such a beautiful band. nothin compared to it. thank u some much for the upload.

Yeah, the girl’s clothes makes her look like Gillian and the drummer also looks like Steve Morris.

Ah sorry…I think that might be Carolyns hair and clothes – extremely Gillian like. must have been the style of the time.

I said they *look*, not sound.

Pah! Listen a bit more closely next time.

My gosh, The Wake look like New Order #2.

I don’t like it when people compare them :/

I’ll always prefer the wake though. Caeser’s a great guy, I’ve had the privellage of talking to him and he’s very humble and friendly. Not to mention extremely talented.

new order came 1st. Love the way the bird on keyboards gives fuck off looks to camera.
