The Wake were a British indie band, founded in Glasgow in 1981 by Gerald "Caesar" McInulty, Steven Allen and Joe Donnelly, who was later replaced by Bobby Gillespie. Steven's sister Carolyn Allen soon joined, and remained in the band until its end. The Wake signed to Factory Records in 1982, recording an LP (Harmony), followed by a number of singles on Factory and sister label Factory Benelux. In 1983, The Wake toured with New Order, and thus received critical attention. Gillespie, left in 1983, subsequently playing drums with the Jesus and Mary Chain and achieving fame with his own band Primal Scream. Alexander 'Mac' Macpherson replaced Gillespie in 1983. The band toured extensively and the recording of their seminal album Here Comes Everybody marked the apex of their career. In 1988, The Wake left Factory and joined Sarah Records, releasing several singles and two LPs, the last being 1994's Tidal Wave of Hype. When Sarah shut down in 1995, The Wake dissolved. Former bassist Macpherson who had already left to form The Cat Club, dented the charts in 1987 with One Last Kiss. Macpherson later formed the esoteric 'Opium' releasing material on the Neuropa label. Caesar later recorded with Bobby Wratten Field Mice /Trembling Blue Stars under the name The Occasional Keepers.
