Gilbert and Lewis

about

Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis were members of the innovative and highly influential post-punk band Wire- whose three late 70s albums Pink Flag, Chairs Missing and 154 - were a fertile and increasingly abstract voyage into the possibilities of the post-punk musical universe. By 1980, the band were on the brink of losing their record deal with EMI and were starting to fragment into separate recording units. 4AD's Ivo was a big Wire fan, and after meeting him at a Bauhaus show, Bruce and Graham offered 4AD some material they had been working on. Shortly afterwards, a 12" single ("Like This For Ages") was released under the name Cupol; this was followed by the full length album 3R4 which was credited simply to BC Gilbert/G. Lewis. All of Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis's 4AD material was subsequently collected on the 8 Time CD.
