Red Barked Tree

Since their formation in London in 1976, the members of Wire have maintained and advanced a musical project which treats the creative potential of a rock band as a fluid, amorphous medium. As removed from self-conscious intellectualism as they are from the inherent conservatism of much rock music, Wire employ their unique, endlessly restless and risk-taking creativity to question every aspect of songwriting, recording and performance. They delight and disturb in equal measure, troubleshooting the circuitry of perfect pop, or patrolling the limits of focused experimentalism. In terms of working together as Wire, the group's members disbanded in 1980, reformed in 1985, disbanded in 1992 and reformed for the second time in 2000. Such sabbaticals from their career as Wire have served to sharpen the group's edge and focus, updating the tactics with which they pursue this shared project.

Merseyside raised, and now back there, after travelling various worlds for a while ...an old muso does cover versions of all the hits...think Eno meets Will Oldham meet Wire while the twin spectres of Dock Boggs and Bascom Lamar Lunsford gaze down sweetly from on high...kind of...with a bit of 'punk/noise/psychedelia' thrown in for good measure...it is what it is...
