From Wire’s official site: “[D]ue to Bruce Gilbert’s resignation from the group in 2004, upcoming Wire gigs will have Margaret Fiedler McGinnis augmenting the band on rhythm guitar. Known for her work in Laika (masterminds of one of the best Wire covers to date, the Whore version of German Shepherds), her live credentials are further enhanced by her being a part of PJ Harvey’s touring band earlier in the decade.” As if there weren’t already enough reasons to head on out to Calgary for this summer’s Sled Island festival, here’s another; Fiedler is an incredible live guitarist, and perhaps I can buttonhole her to talk about 1995′s Silver Apples Of The Moon, one of the best albums to come out in a terrific year, music-wise.

Wow, absolutely amazing — get that interview! Hell, get her to write a book (worked for her labelmate Luke Sutherland…)
Margaret Fiedler McGinnis, please let this be your year.
I do agree their Wire cover is awesome.
This is really really really good news!
I remember being disappointed by the MBV cover on there…Bark Psychosis’ take on “Three Girl Rhumba” was pretty fucking great though.
Also late of the great “Eva Luna” era lineup of Moonshake.
Incredibly great news. I’ll patiently await some US tour dates
