  On April 6, 2017, Wire performed live at the KEXP studio in Seattle, showcasing their evolution in sound while continuing their legacy as pioneers of post-punk. This performance came shortly after the release of their album "Nocturnal Koreans," which was unveiled in 2016. This album marked a return to the raw and experimental ethos that defined their earlier work, while also embracing new textures and technology, illustrating Wire's capacity for reinvention. Notably, "Nocturnal Koreans" was recorded during sessions intended for their album "Change Becomes Us," reflecting the band's creative process of revisiting and reinterpreting earlier ideas. The live recording features tracks that highlight their unique blend of incisive lyrics and rhythmic experimentation, showcasing not only their enduring relevance but also their commitment to pushing musical boundaries as they have done since their formation in the late 1970s.
