As it’s Reading Festival weekend, this poster from 1991 has been doing the rounds - check out this lineup from 30 years ago. Were you there? If not, would you go back in time for this one?

Massive love to the beautiful Janice Long rip, emoji’s can’t say it but fucking really fucking really sad face. An amazing soul and an amazing indie/alternative female warrior/pioneer who was first to play the Pops on the BBC.
PWEI LEGEND. Thank you x.
Well, well. Surely it can’t be 31 years since we released 'There Is No Love Between Us Anymore'? Really? Yes, in fact it’s 31 years to the day. So "this is the day" - talking of which -

Hope you’ve all had a wonderful Xmas - it’s been wonderful to have been a part of your year, and we hope we get to carry that on into 2023! Seasons greetings n all. PWEI x
Preparing for tomorrow's gig/livestream... here's a sneak peek at our rehearsals from today.
Watch the full video over on Facebook:
Don't forget to grab your tickets for the exclusive livestream - not long to go! ➡️
If there were to be another PWEI album, what would you expect? (Just so we know what not to do :D). Does the music biz have space for anger, frustration, confusion, obtuse muthafuckas....or do people just like nice tunes these days? Not sure I want to hear the answer.
We’ve made it to Australia (sans Mary for now - but he’ll be with us in time for our first show in Perth on Tuesday!)
It’s not too late to grab tickets for our shows in Australia and New Zealand. Don’t miss out!

It’s about time we all took a family photo... it’s almost Christmas card worthy. 🎄

BRAND NEW POP WILL EAT ITSELF SINGLE
THE POPPIES STRIKE BACK!
Available NOW for download and streaming. Limited edition THE POPPIES STRIKE BACK T-shirt available for pre order.
Gigantic all-dayer today. Up at 4.30 to get a train to Manchester in time for first DJ set at 1p.m. What kind of bullshit is that? In the old days I'd have just stayed up drinking. And probably missed the train.
Tour news alert...
Our mate Miles Hunt from The Wonder Stuff is not only joining us on the decks for the
#LoveFromStourbridge
tour, but is bringing his guitar along for the ride too and playing an acoustic set. You lot coming or what?
Tickets here:
.Been avoiding the news and only just heard. Thanks for The Beat being the first band I ever saw live, for recording with PWEI, being such a gent, bringing the over-proof rum from Jamaica and being part of the fabric of Birmingham. RIP Rog.
Thank you, Roger, for everything.
You taught me how to sequence using your computer and how to sample using your Akai S900.
You brought me together with some of the most...
Yakety Sax!
Everyone ready for our Worldwide Stream from

We’re excited to announce that we’re returning to Australia next year to play a Greatest Hits Set for the first time EVER! We’re also going to be joined by fellow Grebos and UK indie-dance heroes, JESUS JONES who will also perform a Greatest Hits Set!
During the recording of CFS there was an epic penalty shoot-out competition. After dinner every night. A total of 500 penalties was concluded in the last 2 kicks. Crabbi hit the post, Mansell scored. Metaphor there somewhere. Wanker ;-) Love ya.
@iamclintmansell
So happy to receive this fantastic new
@pweiofficial
CD boxset. It contains the soundtrack to the most exciting time of my life. Back in the late 80s & early 90s I couldn’t have been prouder of these absurdly clever friends of mine. Always an inspiration to me.
It's been three years since our show at

We won all song/band votes, ever. Did you personally count each vote yourself? No you didn't, you just took the word of whoever announced the result, suckers. PWEI won everything ever, you just didn't realise. Well, realise now. We are prepared to forgive.
