LIVE DATES!!! - ----- Original Message ----- From: Pinkflag To: Pinkflag Mailing List 26.02.08 Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 12:18 PM Subject: [Announce] Pinkflag News - 26.02.08 Dear Wire fan, Welcome to the newest edition of the Pinkflag mailing list newsletter, getting you all the latest Wire news first. Thanks! First, thanks for all your kind and supportive comments on "Read & Burn 03", both through this site and through Wire's MySpace. The reception, both personal and critical, has been really excellent and while we are, due to reasons of copyright, unable to share full reviews with you, we have instituted a "quote generator" which throws up a fresh quote each time one refreshes the front page of pinkflag.com. For those seeking a more ordered way to see these quotes, they have all been compiled on the "Read & Burn 03" page at . Wire is, of course, now well advanced in recording and mixing its 11th (as yet untitled) album, due for release later this year. Gigs in the offing!! After a considerable absence from the live scene (the last show was at Benecassim, Spain in 2004), Wire is set to announce dates for new live shows this year. As yet unconfirmed dates will include European festivals during the summer season and a trip to North America in the autumn. At this time, we are able to confirm the following early show dates: April 29: Stuk, Leuven, Belgium May 01: 4AD, Diksmuide, Belgium As part of their 50th Anniversary. May 07: Nuits Sonores Festival - Lyon, France The Nuits Sonores Festival is one Wire played previously, in 2004. The front page of pinkflag.com will now carry a "forthcoming gigs" listing. We recommend you consult this regularly, to read the most up to date information for Wire dates! The gigography With a gigging Wire back on the agenda, it will not be long before the gigography at starts to lengthen. However, in spite of regular new information this list still remains "An almost comprehensive list of all Wire gigs" due to gaps and incomplete information. So if anyone is able to fill in any of the gaps or resolve the "question marks" please don't hesitate to contact us through the contact form at . News from the site Here are a few snippets of news from the site you might have missed Wire reach 14 on CMJ 200 - Jan 08 2008 Over the back end of 2007 Read & Burn 03 has been steadfastly scaling the USA based CMJ college radio charts and on the reporting of the week of January 8th 2008 has reached no 14. The chart, which is based on the playlists of the many highly influential College Radio stations, such as WUMD & KFAI , tends normally towards releases from newer bands so it is doubly amazing that Wire can continue to do well in such company. New Track added to Free Downloads - Dec 15 2007 The 3 minute 17 second "radio" edit of 23 Years Too Late from Read & Burn 03 is now available in the "listen" section of pinkflag.com This area carries tasters from most pinkflag releases as well as a few exclusive unreleased items and best of all, the downloads are all free... And finally This newsletter and the website are complimentary resources. To keep abreast of Wire and and all its doings, we recommend checking Pinkflag.com regularly as well as being signed up to this mailing list.
