Who The Fuck Are Black Wire?
Si - Guitars,backing vocals, all other noise VON - Bass Dan - Vocals Black Wire’s debut 45 – ‘Attack Attack Attack’/’Very Gun’ (Wrong Crowd Recordings – Wrong 001) – has been causing quite a rumpus around the tMx bunker. Some are saying: Suicide eats The Stooges. Others are claiming Black Wire could be the start of a new wave of mutilation. The more conservative & astute amongst us are simply tapping out our pipes to the glam-stomp beat, nodding sagely in agreement that Black Wire have made one highly engaging & imminently collectable 7’ 45 - & demanding that they be placed under immediate observation in the tMx ‘Next Big Thing’ cupboard – just in case. This is what Black Wire’s website has to say about their ‘history’: Black Wire had to be a band... One look at them and you know they could not exist in the real world let alone get a job there. This three piece is about smashing your skull open with the kind of nasty punk electronic action that could fuck a corpse back to life. They formed in January 2003 and played their first gig within a month. From there they have gone on to play with Ladytron, The Rapture, Chikinki, Pink Grease and The Libertines. After their live debut came the Dazed & Confused award. Their demo found their way onto John Kennedy's XFM show and Radio 1's breezeblock. Their sound perhaps best pinned down in the press as 'Glam-tronic punk rock' they combine all they love about music and smash it to within an inch of its life. Despite their manager's requests, the live shows grow more chaotic - somehow Black wire have survived long enough to play some of the hottest venues and club nights in the country including: Nag Nag Nag, Pigs, Liars Club, Notting Hill Arts Club, Camden Barfly and various Sonic Mook nights. Picking up fans and record company interest along the way these boys are releasing their limited edition debut early 2004... you have been warned!
