In July 2013, during the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, Wire performed "Spent," a track from their album "Change Becomes Us," which was released earlier that year. This album was particularly significant as it showcased the band's evolution, featuring material that was initially intended for a scrapped 1980 album, bringing early ideas into a contemporary context. By the time of this live performance, Wire was well-established in the post-punk scene, known for their innovative sound and artistic reinventions. The band's willingness to revisit and reinterpret their older works while still producing new material exemplifies their unique approach to music. Additionally, their appearance at the festival highlights their enduring popularity and relevance in the indie music landscape.
