This Line Up Went By The Name Of The Trees But Simon Soon Got Bored And Kevin Tweedy Joined On Keyboards In Sep 1982. The Name Was Changed To The Wait After The Songs By Killing Joke And The Pretenders. Hamish And Andy Shared The Vocals And They Were Finally Ready To Play The First Gig In Feb 1983.

All Was Not Well Though And In June 1984 The Band Parted Company With Kevin.
