New Wire album: Object 47 Object 47 (the 47th object in Wire's discography) is Wire's 11th studio album, and features nine all-new tracks. It is the second product of an arc of work started in 2006, which has so far produced the well received EP "Read And Burn 03", and stands as a confident statement of where Wire are in 2008 (as ever, looking forward!). Retaining Wire's idiosyncratic mix of an avant-garde mindset with classic pop timing, this album also boasts "tunes with zoom", a unique formula that manages to sound wholly Wire (in a classic sense) and contemporary. A preview of the front cover has been placed on the website at . The full track-listing for the album is: One Of Us; Circumspect; Mekon Headman; Perspex Icon; Four Long Years; Hard Currency; Patient Flees; Are You Ready?; All Fours. The provisional release date for Object 47 is July 7, 2008. Let's talk! During the last couple of weeks we have been testing out a forum on pinkflag.com and now it is ready to accept new members. We have wanted, for some time, a place where people could express their views about Wire, ask questions or just generally discuss stuff related and not so related to the band in a way that's simple and intuitive. Hopefully we've got that (although it hasn't been tested to destruction yet, so bear with us if we have teething problems). More gigs The gig list at the front of the website has been growing, and more dates will soon be added or confirmed. The current, officially confirmed, date-list is:  April 29: Stuk, Leuven, Belgium  April 30: Ekko, Utrecht, Netherlands  May 01: 4AD, Diksmuide, Belgium  May 02: Hedon, Zwolle, Netherlands  May 03: Futuresonic Festival, Manchester, UK  May 05: Bronson, Ravenna, Italy  May 06: Circolo Degli Artisti, Rome, Italy  May 07: Nuits Sonores Festival, Lyon, France  May 30: Seaport Music Festival, NYC, USA [free festival]  June 07: Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto, Portugual  June 27: Sled Island Festival (#1 Royal Canadian Legion), Calgary, Canada  June 28: Sled Island Festival (Main Stage), Calgary, Canada  July 4: Rokaj Festival , Zagreb, Croatia There will be a London show during the summer. New Yorkers may be interested to note that Wire will be headlining a big free festival on May 30th as part of the River to River series. A more wider-ranging visit to North America will take place in October, but no dates are currently conformed. As always, it pays to check back with the website periodically, to see if more dates have been added. Note that due to Bruce Gilbert's resignation from the group in 2004, upcoming Wire gigs will have Margaret Fiedler McGinnis augmenting the band on rhythm guitar. Known for her work in Laika (masterminds of one of the best Wire covers to date, the Whore version of German Shepherds), her live credentials are further enhanced by her being a part of PJ Harvey's touring band earlier in the decade. 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.
