Very poor sound quality ruined what would have been a good set. Had already downed a few beers prior to gig but am sure judgement was not overly affected by this. Was not first time at this venue and cannot recall coming away with same thoughts before.

Inveterately Original

Liquid Room @

Favourite moment: When they played Map Reference. I became seventeen again! @

Opening act(s): Just two girls, one on drums and vocals the other on guitar and vocals. The sort of stuff John Peel used to give air time to because nobody else would: 6 odd minute songs of a heavy mesmeric quality, and very full sounding given their minimalist lineup. A well chosen opener for a WIre gig. @

Wire continue to operate somewhere above where the mainstream set the bar. They rank along side Kraftwerk, Roxy Music and Devo in their originality and persistence in ploughing their own musical furrow. Wire and have done so for well over thirty years, and throughout this time have ceaselessly produced fresh, yet unmistakable music, adding to their awesome musicography. They sound as modern today as they did in the 70s' with their playful yet edgy tunes and gritty slightly odd sounding guitars.

Wire are the band who sang: "Money spine, paper lung, kidney bingos, organ fun" What more can be said?

It's rare you go to a gig where you know none of the set (I only know Wire from their earlier years and they are renowned for playing only current stuff) but they still keep your attention throughout. Sound mix OK but not amazing. I realize now I need to go back to Wire's (more recent) back catalogue and catch up on what I've missed!

This venue has long been a legend and when it is coupled with an equally legendary band, such as Wire, the result is simply stunning. How a band can condense their incredibly well produced studio work and present it, live on stage, with a four piece band, is simply beyond me. I have attended many gigs and this was right up there with the best. Superb!

Quite a lot of new stuff played tonight including the excellent please take but unlike previous times i've seen them there was a little energy lacking, and Graham Lewis had problems throughout with bass sound. However, that said, still very entertaining and we got a Wire first of TWO encoures including an excellent version of Snakedrill (they have a whole album of that song to choose from after all!

This was the second time I saw Wire recently. I went to their gig end of last year at The Lexington in London. They were outstanding, played a few classics and their new ones from their recent album release 'Red Barked Tree' are great. It's like going back in time briefly but they are full of a new energy and sound just brilliant.
