Wevie Stonder

Wevie Stonder are a British group formed in Brighton in 1993. They have released five studio albums on Skam records, Sonig and Cack Records. The band's name is a spoonerism of American R&B and soul musician Stevie Wonder.

History

The band formed in 1993, when their first recording session resulted in a failed cover version of Stevie Wonder's “I just called to say I love you” and marked the birth of Wevie Stonder - a name which would go on to spark a fad of spoonerised names and puns in electronic music (such as Com Truise and Joy Orbison).

Their first LP "Eat Your Own Ears" (its name later taken by the London-based promotions company) was released in 2000, and led to a series of records for Skam, radio sessions for the BBC, and live performances at electronic music nights and festivals around the UK and Europe - with their debut live show at Sonar festival, Barcelona.

After a very long hiatus, Wevie Stonder have a new album - "Sure Beats Living" - slated for a release on July 25th 2025 on Skam.
