July 17, 2008Autumn Gigs

We are now unveiling our Autumn schedule (see gig listing) and while we can't pronounce it festival-free, it is more than likely that residents of North America, The UK, Holland and Belgium will be able to see the band in more intimate surroundings.

There also remain a couple of US shows that are not yet confirmed, so keep an eye out on the gig listinge for further additions. More European shows should also join the line-up.

July 07, 2008Object 47 released today

Today sees the release of Object 47, Wire's 11th studio album. Following on from the well-received Read & Burn 03, it stands as a confident statement of where Wire are in 2008.

The album can be ordered now from Pinkflag mail-order, and the Object 47 page is now live on the website, including all of the album's texts.

June 10, 2008Festival Wire

There are quite a lot of reports online concerning Wire's last two shows. We have been reliably informed that over the course of two weekends we played to 17,500 people! Some of them appear to have written about it and photographed it... Amongst the "official" reports are Prefix Mag, Village Voice, Stereogum, Brainwashed, Billboard and QRO Magazine.

There are also of course a ton of youtube clips some of which (for the NYC show) can be reached from here and others (for Serralves in Porto) connected to here. There is doubtless more than can be found by judicious searching. If you find something good why not post it to the forum.
