Wire is a mini revelation for me.  I found out about their albums Pink Flag and Chairs Missing in Pitchfork Media’s 100 Best Albums of the 1970s.

Wire – Mannequin

They have a wonderful minimal punk sound.  It’s atmospheric but with attitude, not empty.  It turns out they wrote The 15th, the Fischerspooner track that I posted about here.

The photographer above has a bunch of fantastic photos on this site, as well as a  show at Etherea on Ave A which runs through next week.

Here’s a cool Fischerspooner video from back in the day.

That appears to be the French Kicks in the background above providing air guitar support.
