Wendy Wu was the female lead singer of the 1980s band, The Photos.
The Photos were originally a punk band named Satans Rats that formed in Evesham, Worcestershire in 1977. In 1979 Wu took over as singer. The band, with Steve Eagles (guitar & vocals), Dave Sparrow (bass guitar & vocals and Olly Harrison (drums & percussion), released a self-titled album (Epic, 1980) and number of singles. These included "I'm so Attractive" and "Barbarellas" (concerning the closure of a Birmingham nightclub).
The album was successful, reaching number 4 in the UK Albums Chart, and Wu's picture was briefly a regular item in the music press. The album was supported by the group performing numerous concerts around the UK. The album was later re-released in CD format, although only a limited number of copies were pressed. The CD was re-released in October 2007 by Cherry Red Records, the label originally due to have signed the band before they were contracted to CBS. The re-release includes some additional tracks including "I'm So Attractive".
