Wire with KEXP and STG Presents: DRILL: SeattleSaturday | November 23, 2013Doors 7 PM | NeumosWire will bring their DRILL festival to Seattle. The festival will be similar to their well-received DRILL: LONDON festival which took place in March of this year. The three-day fest will take place November 21-23 at venues throughout Seattle including Barboza, the Crocodile, and Neumos. DRILL: SEATTLE will performances by Helmet, Chastity Belt, Vestals, Earth and more. The festival will also include a performance from the PinkFlag Guitar Orchestra in which other artists, including Helmet’s Page Hamilton, will join Wire on stage for a rendition of “Pink Flag.” Wire’s Colin Newman says, “In their nearly 40 years of existence Wire have never been a band to keep still or rest on their laurels. Although sometimes, wrongly, defined within certain narrow musical genres Wire’s oeuvre has always ranged across a wide range of styles and influences whilst the membership, individually and collectively have always had good relationships, both working & personal with artists across a number of fields. So it is perhaps not surprising that in 2013 Wire launched the first of a series of Festivals entitled DRILL in London in March 2013. The concept is simple, it’s an unpretentious city festival featuring artists from across all genres actively curated by Wire with a lot of input from local, informed media partners (in the case of London, The Quietus; in the case of Seattle, KEXP) The concerts take place in small venues with great sound systems. There are no big ticket acts playing for over inflated fees. Wire go for the best in upcoming local talent combined with friends who just want to be part of it.”Wire is touring in support of their new album Change Becomes Us which is out now on pinkflag.Not feeling lucky?
