I can’t believe I missed this the first time.

David Wrench worked with Zoë Skoulding and Alan Holmes on his first full-length solo record Blow Winds Blow. Their current project is Parking Non-Stop. I’m taking some listens to the sound files they have on MySpace and I really like what I hear. Think like Virgin Prunes’ A New Form of Beauty or Iannis Xenakis-meets-Kraftwerk.

Wow, I can’t believe I hadn’t found this before.

It’s old news, but seeing as I’m rather busy with my Sexy Hobbit Medical Issues (I’ll spare you), so far, this is what I’m finding. As I’ve said before, I’m not connected to David Wrench or his management (though I did find somebody on Last.FM who claimed to be a [presumably] person friend of Mr Wrench — I told the “friend” that David Wrench is sex, and I think he laughed at me… oh well, at least he was nicer than the neighbour kids…), so all Wrench News is reported as I find it.

This post today comes from the blog at greenplastic.com. The following is the post re-printed in its entirety:

David Wrench’s Creep Tantrum
March 16, 2004 06:20 PM – Posted by Dylan

Random Welsh musician David Wrench wanted to cover “Creep” on his new EP. He was told no. He did not take it very kindly, in fact, he posted the following (we’ll leave his grammar intact) on his website-

Due to Radiohead banning the cover of creep, the world war IV ep has been withdrawn. We approached Thom Yorke of the band in manchester to ask why permission was not allowed, but all he did was get angry and started shouting “do you know how hard I work?”, well probably quite hard Mr Yorke, but then again so does everyone else I know, and for a fraction of the pay and satisfaction you get out of work. We genuinely believed that Radiohead would have given permission for use of their song on an anti war ep, but they work far too hard apparently. FAKE PLASTIC POP STARS. If you would like to let Radiohead themselves know what you think, the email address for their management is bryce@cyard.com

If you’re interested, you can go find out more about David Wrench over at his homepage. You can also listen to some of his music. I’d recommend the Radiohead-esque track “Superhorny” (“I’m superhorny/with UK repression/got a stiff upper lip/and a permanent erection” to a CasioTone beat.), but unfortunately I can’t because it’s not very good.

CUTW delightfully adds that if you would like to let David himself know what you think, the email address for his management is info@storm-music.com.

(Thanks to Just Radiohead/CUTW.)

As we here (me here?) at David Wrench-Is-Sex know, and have alerted you, davidwrench.com is currently defunct and it looks like it’s been bought out buy advert people at the moment. Heinous. Still, I haven’t heard any news that he’s died, so this is more of an annoyance to me than anything.

In happier news, on a simple Yahoo! search, The top page for David Wrench is the Wikipedia entry, followed by the David Wrench Is Sex blog! Yes, this site has beat out the BBC mini-site. Granted, ask.com doesn’t even seem to be aware that this site exists, but coming up #2 on a yahoo search isn’t bad.

Lastly, but not leastly, to those not in-the-know but in need of a Wrench fix, Ochre Records still has available in their catalogue You Have Just Been Poisoned By The Serpents, which features David Wrench in the group’s line-up. Ochre Records now also has a MySpace page, just in case you’re interested.

I shall some day return with more Wrench News — same Wrench time, same Wrench URl.
