Talk:Katrina and the Waves

Formation
Why are they listed as Canadian when they formed in England?

They’re half-American, half-British, formed in the UK, and were signed to Attic Records in Canada. Their international release consisted of re-recordings of previous Canadian releases. But no, they aren’t Canadian. Skyhawk0 09:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Now it reads English pop rock band, but shouldn't it be British-American or English-American, considering the above? 82.141.119.195 (talk) 03:23, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

What was the highest position of "love shine a light"? On this page it says no. 3, whereas on the site of Katrina Leskanich, is says no.2 Which one is true?
 * It reached number 3, I've corrected Katrina's article. BillyH 02:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hurricane Katrina
Ok, please tell me I'm not the only person who mentally connected the band's name to Hurricane Katrina...anyone? Doregasm 22:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There was an entire section about it until a few days ago when it was removed. BillyH 02:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Katrina Leskanich had a personal message on her website about Hurricane Katrina for a while; it was very heartfelt, and I hope it hasn't been lost to the ages. As to my own connection, we lost our home in Hurricane Katrina, and my LP collection was spread across my yard and elsewhere.  Almost the very first record that I picked up in the yard was by Katrina and the Waves; it was a 12" single for (what else?) "Do You Want Crying".  I used to tell that story for years, and the muddy album cover is now hanging on the wall in my home office.  The good news is that I have been able to salvage much of these albums – 1,200 so far, including that one of course. Shocking Blue (talk) 11:14, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Armed Forces Commercial
Some years before "Walking on Sunshine" came out, there was a promotional commercial that ran on American TV for a while for one of the branches of the Armed Forces (maybe the United States Air Force). There was a good band or singing group who performed during the ad with a female lead singer. Maybe it was just the connection to WAVES, an early female branch of the U.S. Navy; but when I saw a photo of or a performance by Katrina Leskanich, there was a resemblance to the woman lead singer in that commercial. I always wondered if that might have been her, or maybe even the whole band, because there were about four of them altogether as I recall. Anyone know anything about that? I never have seen a reference to that in any article on the band, though the article on Leskanich mentions that her father was a colonel in the Air Force, so maybe he could have gotten her the gig.
