Pete Wylie Biography

Pete Wylie is one of the most popular and richest Singer-Songwriter who was born on March 22, 1958 in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom.

Wylie was born in Liverpool. He began his career in 1977 with lead vocalist Ian McCulloch and bassist Julian Cope, with whom he formed the band Crucial Three, which lasted from May to June the same year. In December 1977, he joined The Spitfire Boys, who dissolved the same month. Wylie and two of the band, Pete Griffiths and Peter Clarke, formed the same month The Nova Mob, alongside Julian Cope. The band lasted until May 1978. In August, he joined established local band Crash Course (December 1977 – January 1979), on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, after seeing them supporting Big in Japan at the matinee of their farewell show in Eric’s club on 26 August. The revised Crash Course made their first live appearance at Manchester University on 13 October.

On 22 December 1978, a professional recording of the band performing at Eric’s was made for a live EP, to be released on the club’s own label, and to follow the Pink Military EP which had also been recorded there. Crash Course disbanded in late January 1979 and the record wasn’t pressed (the tape subsequently lost). Also in January 1979, the band had recorded three tracks at Liverpool’s MVCU demo studios: “Someone Different” (with which The Glass Torpedoes had a minor hit in mid-1979), “The Tears of a Clown” (the Smokey Robinson song), and “Look Now”. Shortly after the band’s demise, the three MVCU demo tracks were broadcast, in their unmixed form, on BBC radio’s Phil Ross programme. One of the last compositions to be rehearsed by Crash Course was the semi instrumental “Heart Surgery”. A version of this later appeared on the Glass Torpedoes EP.
