Wire Chairs Missing 1997-11-24 6 People in the ValleyWire: Colin Newman (vocals, guitars); B. C. Gilbert (guitar); Graham Lewis (bass, vocals); Robert Gotobed (drums). Additional personnel: Kate Lukas (flute); Mike Thorne (keyboards, synthesizers). A euphemism for insanity, Chairs Missing is an apt summation of Wire's disturbing music. A product of London's punk scene, the quartet nonetheless owed a debt to the art school experimentation of the mid 60s, a contrast that gave their craft originality.
