Our Daughters Wedding was a
New Wave band active from 1977 to 1983, based out of
New York.
Their members were:
Layne Rico (
synthesizers),
Keith Silva (
vocals/
synthesizers) and
Scott Simon (
saxophone/
synthesizers).
Best known for the song "
Lawnchairs" (with the chorus "Lawnchairs are everywhere/ they're everywhere in my mind/ describe them... to me"), which was a cross-over hit. Despite releasing an album ("
Moving Windows", 1982,
EMI) with several more dancy tunes (like the bubbly "
Buildings" and the smart "
Elevate Her"), they never again reclaimed the level of success of "Lawnchairs." They broke up in 1983.
Their sound was similar to
Suicide's, but more cool and less dark. Now a forgotten footnote of New Wave, once upon a time they were
the thinking man's Men Without Hats.
