What people are saying about Object 47...
Wire is a band that has proven to hold up to change remarkably well, and with Object 47 they continue to triumphantly hold the torch up for post-punk.

Latest Wire news
March 07, 2010French Warm Up Dates
Wire will be playing a series of French dates (our first dates since October 2009 and our first series of French dates ever) as a warm up for the appearance at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona now confirmed for the 28th May.
Expect a couple more dates to be added before Paris.
January 19, 2010Primavera
We are announcing today that Wire will be included in this year's Primavera Sound festival. This will be both a return to Spain, where Wire played a very successful set of dates last October, and a return to Primavera which Wire played last in May 2003. As the band will not have played live in over 6 months expect a series of warm up shows beforehand.
Wire is currently engaged in writing & recording towards the next album.
January 18, 2010Ford Focus Ad
Various people have contacted us to point out that the music accompanying the new Ford Ad bears an uncanny resemblance to Wire's "Kidney Bingos". This is in fact something we became aware at the back end of last year and have had our people look intro. Seemingly while any self respecting Wire fan would spot the similarity instantly, as the law stands right now, the "composers" have made just enough difference to escape censure. Seemingly there are some who create music for ads who know exactly how close to the wind they may sail in these matters...
The song used in the ad, and released now as a single, is called "Half Way Home" and the "group" responsible is called The Cool Hearts.
