Wire on Daytrotter Sessions

In the latest episode from Daytrotter Sessions, 70's English Post-punk band Wire performs four songs, free at the Daytrotter website, during their Chicago tour in the wake of a new Obama presidency, and the band's newest album, Object 47.

Frontman Collin Newman explains: "In keeping with Daytrotter's 'played' feel we chose four songs from the set we have been touring throughout Europe & North America during 2008. We did this session the day after the last date of the North American tour (in Chicago), which was in fact our last date of 2008! We never attempt to 'reproduce' album versions in our live sets, so each piece must find its expression as a live entity. In that way this studio recorded version of Wire playing live was a unique document. Falling at the end of our most extensive touring year since 1987 it became a unique document recorded at a unique time!"
