It's the original band--and Robert Gotobed is NOT playing to a click track! It's guitars, bass, and drums. They'll possibly be playing the new tunes on _Read & Burn_, along with a selection of past tunes that work in the keyboard-free format. And supposedly they're extremely tight.

_Read & Burn_ is a lot denser than the rest of their ouvre, very fast and tight. I haven't exactly found a way into it yet, but it's heartening to hear them play with this level of conviction. A review and sound samples are available here: http://www.brainwashed.com/brain/brainv05i15.html and another review is here: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/w/wire/read-and-burn.shtml

HTH, you lucky Atlantan,
