Wire

It's a welcome return for Wire, the original punk rockers, live in session.

It's a welcome return tonight for Wire .. the original punk rockers live in session.

Wire formed in London in 1976 the group's members disbanded in 1980, reformed in 1985, disbanded in 1992 and reformed for the second time in 2000 - feel dizzy now!!!

Musically and lyrically, repetition, abbreviation, tempo and acceleration have become a constant in Wire's career-long processes of self-reinvention. 'Monophonic and monorhythmic'- to quote their own description of their epic track, Drill released in 1986.

The current album Red Barked Tree was recorded in London during 2010.

The band are Colin Newman Vox & Guitar, Graham Lewis Bass & Vox, Robert Grey Drums and Matt Simms Guitar.
