Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Wet Wet Wet ma 1982 ma Clydebank (England). Ua hoʻomaka ka moʻolelo o ka hana ʻana o ka hui me ke aloha mele o nā hoaaloha ʻehā: Marty Pellow (vocals), Graham Clarke (bass guitar, vocals), Neil Mitchell (keyboards) a me Tommy Cunningham (drums).
I kekahi manawa ua hui ʻo Graham Clark lāua ʻo Tommy Cunningham ma kahi kaʻa kaʻa kula. Ua hui pū ʻia lākou e ka makemake i ke mele, a ma hope iho ua hoʻoholo lākou e hana i kahi hui. Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia ko lāua hoa aloha ʻo Neil Mitchell e ke ʻano o kona mau hoaaloha.
Ua hoʻohiki ʻo ia e kūʻai i nā kī no ka hui ke loaʻa ʻo ia i ke kālā lawa e hana ai. No ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka quartet, ua kāhea ʻo Graham Clark iā Marty Pellow ma ke ʻano he leo.
Pehea i ulu ai nā mea a pau?
I ka wā i hana mua ai ka hui, ua kōkua ʻo Graham Duffin i ka poʻe mele i ka wā hoʻopaʻa hoʻopaʻa leo a me nā hana ola. Ua hoʻoholo nā kāne e inoa i ka hui me kahi laina mai ka mele o ka hui ʻo Scritti Politti Getting Having and Holding. A no laila ua hānau ʻia ka inoa Wet Wet Wet.
ʻO ka hana hana maoli o ka hui, e like me ka poʻe mele, hoʻomaka i ka makahiki 1984. ʻO nā hana ʻaha mele mua no ka lehulehu lehulehu, ua hoʻokō ʻia nā mele mua o nā demos i nā studio. I ka makahiki 1985, ua hui pū ʻo Wat Wat Wat me Phonogram Records. A laila ua puka mai kekahi o nā mana demo o nā moʻolelo o ka hui.
ʻO ka lanakila mua o ka hui Vet Vet Vet
Ua hana ʻo Willie Mitchell me nā kāne, i kēlā manawa he mea hana ʻoihana ʻo ia. I ka makahiki 1987, i ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ka mea hoʻokahi Wishing I Was Lucky, ua paʻi ka hui i ka 10 kiʻekiʻe ma ka helu 6.
He manawa hōʻailona kēia - mahalo i ka mea hoʻokahi, ua loaʻa i ka hui ka lanakila nui. Ke hoʻomaka nei nā lanakila, a mahalo i ka lua o ka Sweet Little Mystery, ua komo ka hui i ka papa inoa o nā laina ʻelima mua o ka pakuhi.
Ke kali nui nei ka poʻe pā o ka hui i ka album mua o ka hui. I Kepakemapa 1987, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album LP Popped in Souled Out ma lalo o ka lepili Mercury. Ua piʻi ka album ma ka helu 2 ma nā palapala kiʻi UK.
ʻAʻole kēia he mea kupanaha, no ka mea, i kēlā manawa ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ʻelua mau mele ʻelua Angel Eyes (Home and Away) a me Temptation. I Ianuali 1988, ua lawe ka hui i ke kūlana 1 o ka pakuhi.
He paio me Van Morrison
Me ka lanakila nui o ka hui, ua kali pū nā pilikia mua. He pilikia koʻikoʻi ka hui ma hope o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana o ka mea mele Irish kaulana ʻo Van Morrison i ka hui.
ʻO ke kumu o kēia paio ʻana ʻo Van Morrison no ka hoʻohana ʻana i kāna mau ʻōlelo ma ka Sweet Little Mystery single. Akā naʻe, ua hoʻokō ka poʻe mele o Vet Vet Vet e hoʻoponopono i ka pilikia me ka maluhia, ʻaʻohe hihia hoʻokolokolo.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ka poʻe mele i ka makahiki 1988 i nā mele kahiko i kākau ʻia ma ka hapa lua o nā makahiki 1980. Ua manaʻo lākou he kūpono lākou a ua hui pū me nā mea hou i loko o ka album ʻelua, The Memphis Sessions.
I ka manawa like, ua hoʻomau ka hui i ka pakuhi ma UK me ka Sgt hoʻokahi. Ua ʻike ʻo Pepper i koʻu Makua. He uhi wale nō ia o The Beatles With a Little Help From My Friends. Ua lilo ka Scottish quartet Wet Wet Wet i hui Pelekane mua a me nā kiʻi o nā 1980s.
I ka makahiki 1989, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ka album Back Back the River. ʻO ka mea hou mai ka album ʻo Holding Back the River i hāʻawi i ka lanakila hou i ka hui. ʻO kēia studio hoʻopaʻa leo ʻo ia ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka hui mai ka pop soul i ka pop music.
Eia naʻe, ma waho aʻe o nā mele ikaika e like me Sweet Surrender a me Holding Back the River, aia nā moʻolelo i loaʻa ʻole i ka nānā nui ʻana mai ka poʻe hoʻolohe: E noho me aʻu ʻeha puʻuwai, ʻoki ʻia a paʻa i ka muliwai. Ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka album ma muli o nā hoʻonohonoho maʻamau.
ʻO ka manawa hana o ka hui Wet Wet Wet i nā makahiki 1990
I nā makahiki 1990 mua, hele kaʻahele ka hui ma Beretania a ma hope a puni ka honua. Ma kahi o nā huakaʻi, ua hoʻokani ka hui "ma ke ʻano he hana wehe" no ka ʻaha mele kaulana ʻo Elton.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album ʻehā o ka hui, High on the Happy Side, ma 1992. Mahalo iā Goodnight Girl, i lilo i mea paʻi, ua hoʻopakele ʻia ka hui. ʻAʻole i kūleʻa nā mele mele mua o ka album ʻoiai ke kūʻai nui ʻana.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi album kūikawā ʻo Cloak & Dagger, akā ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui ma lalo o ka pseudonym Maggie Pie & The Impostors. ʻO ka prototype o Maggie Pie ʻo Marty Pellow, a ʻo The Impostors - ke koena o ka hui.
I ka makahiki 1999, ua koi ʻia ʻo Marty Pellow e haʻalele i ka hui ma muli o ka ʻona a me ka hoʻohui i ka lāʻau. Ua hoʻopau ʻia ka hui ma hope. Ua hiki iā ia ke ho'ōla, a ua hoʻi ʻo ia i ke kahua i ka makahiki 2001, akā ma ke ʻano he mea pena mele.
ʻO ka wā makua o ka hui - ma hope o 2004
I Malaki 2004, ua ho'āla hou ʻia ka hui e hana i kahi album hou. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka All I Want (2004), a laila hoʻonohonoho lākou i kahi huakaʻi UK kūleʻa.
Ma Malaki 2012, ua hoʻolaha ʻia e hoʻokani ka hui i kā lākou hōʻike mua i loko o ʻelima mau makahiki ma Glasgow Green ma 20 Iulai e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka makahiki 25 o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o Popped in Souled Out.
Ma 2017, ua haʻalele ʻo Marty Pellow i ka hui e hoʻomaka i kāna ʻoihana solo. Ua pani ʻia ka hui e ka mea hoʻokani leo ʻo Kevin Simm.
