Where Did Wednesday Week Get The Name "Wednesday Week"?

When Vitus Mataré was putting together the WarFrat Tales compilation LP, he insisted that Narrow Adventure was not an acceptable name for Kristi and Kelly's band. So, they needed a new name, or they wouldn't be on the record. Lots of head scratching followed, until Kelly's boyfriend-at-the-time suggested Wednesday Week, after the fantastic Undertones single of the same name. It sounded right, and Narrow Adventure became Wednesday Week. And, no, they weren't named after the Elvis Costello & The Attractions song of the same name...not that there's anything wrong with that!
