Wire
The UK post-punk icons tear up The Zoo with some of Brisbane's best in support.
Overview
13 albums is an achievement that most bands never reach. It is a testament to their musical ability and endless creativity that they reach such a milestone. Wire have 13 albums under their belt and the fact that they’ve had 40 years to reach it is irrelevant except for the fact that 40 years of activity is also a hell of an achievement to reach.
Influential is probably one of the better terms to describe Wire, yet it still doesn’t do them justice. They are influential mostly because of the way they have managed to keep re-inventing themselves and their music to avoid stagnation; something that many bands of the modern era seem to fail at. Blending hard and soft elements into their brand of post-punk has kept their music interesting since their breakthrough album, Pink Flag, released in 1977.
Wire will be playing at The Zoo with two of Brisbane’s best in support. Per Purpose with their blend of abrasive Australiana and Multiple Man, whose sonic sound-scapes are earning them quite a name in the ‘biz’. This will be a great night of great music. I can guarantee it.
