The Wonder Stuff & Inspiral Carpets

A concert at Liverpool Olympia bringing together two British alternative rock bands, The Wonder Stuff and Inspiral Carpets, both formed in the 1980s and signed to major British labels.

The Wonder Stuff is a British alternative rock band formed in Stourbridge in 1986. Signed to Polydor Records, the group released its first album, The Eight Legged Groove Machine, in 1988.

Inspiral Carpets is also a British alternative rock band, formed in Oldham in 1983. Signed to Mute Records, the group released its first album, The Peel Sessions, in 1989. Both acts come from the English Midlands and North West respectively, and this bill pairs two groups active in the same era of British guitar music.

The concert takes place at Liverpool Olympia, a venue hosting concerts and shows in Liverpool. The bill spans pop, rock and indie, so it suits listeners interested in British alternative rock from the late 1980s onwards.
