Wire Daisies is a British pop band with singer-songwriter qualities from Cornwall (South West England), consisting of four members.
history
While Morris, Jackson and Evans already knew each other from the scene, they met Ol Beach in 1999 at one of the many solar eclipse parties. The actual collaboration began in 2002. With the idea of working on a few songs, they sat down with Joao de Silva (bass) on a farm in Cornwall and after six months they had enough material to fill more than an album .
For the next step in their development, they took advice from the father of band member Ol Beach, Queen manager Jim Beach, who brought them together with producer John Cornfield ( Muse , Supergrass , Oasis ). Cornfield recognized the potential of the group and recorded their first album "Just Another Day" with them in his Sawmills studio in mid-2003. They were supported and encouraged by the Queen drummer Roger Meddows-Taylor . In 2004 Wire Daisies finally got a record deal with the online record label Transistor Project, which sells their music over the Internet.
Their appearances in 2004 at the Rock am Ring / Rock im Park Festival and at the Jazz Festival in Montreux increased their level of awareness considerably and brought them great successes on the iTunes charts in various European countries. So the album rose after the download publication in September 2004 in the English and French iTunes charts at No. 1 one in Germany they made it into the Top 20. Driven by this success, they went along with in October 2004 James Blunt at the Digital Music Awards . During the subsequent tour of the UK , they played both as a headline act as well as support for Melanie C .
With the release of the single "Everyman" in early 2005, BBC Radio added the song to their playlist. With the result that it reached the top 20 of the UK airplay charts.
In the spring of 2005, the group signed a recording contract to collaborate with EMI Music , which began with the Europe-wide publication of the debut album on September 26, 2005 in Germany.
In April 2006, the band accompanied Robbie Williams as a support act in South Africa at the start of his world tour.
The band name came about when, in the beginning of the collaboration, guitarist Evans cut the strings of his guitar in the presence of the others and distributed them on a table. The result was a structure that looked like wire daisies.
