  • Bio

    Wild Carnation was founded by Richard Barnes (electric and acoustic guitars) and Christopher O'Donovan (drums, percussion, backing vocals) in 1992; after a few months, Brenda Sauter (The Feelies, Speed the Plough, The Trypes) joined and filled out the band on bass and lead vocal. Chris and Rich then joined Speed the Plough for the recordings of MASON'S BOX and MARINA (East Side Digital, Minneapolis, MN). Soon after, Wild Carnation began playing shows in support of The Bats, Bare Naked Ladies, Luna, SF Seals, The Stranglers, Silk Worm, Veruca Salt, Small Factory and others. It was at an NYU Music Fest show (at the now defunct NY club, Wetlands), in support of Versus, that Wild Carnation met Mark Linn of Delmore Recordings, Chicago, IL (now Delmore Recording Society, Nashville TN). Delmore released Wild Carnation's first single, DODGER BLUE b/w THE LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT NO ONE'S HOME (de702 45rpm) and then the full length cd TRICYCLE (de009 compact disc) to critical acclaim (go to www.wildcarnation.com to read some reviews). In 1999, Anne Hopkins (Farfisa Mini-Compact Organ) joined; and in May 2000, recording began on the band's second full length cd, SUPERBUS, which has just been released. SUPERBUS was recorded at The Pigeon Club by Wayne Durel and produced by James Mastro (the Bongos, Health and Happiness Show, Ian Hunter Band). .. .............. .. .. ..
