NICKY WIRE
NICKY WIRE
Life long Manic Street Preacher, Wales’ first superhero rock star (hoovering househusband by day! Dragged-up-stick-insect-bass-wielding-firebrand-polemicist by night!), winner of Brits, of Brats, architect of records both critically and commercially successful, always outspoken, never outgunned.
Sometimes sounding like a young, Valleys born Bernard Sumner, occasionally like a man with an acoustic guitar battling against squall of “Psychocandy”, often like someone finally let loose in front of a microphone and having a blast, “I Killed The Zeitgeist” is the debut solo album by Nicky Wire, possibly the first record to sit halfway between Reading Festival and the Hay Literary Festival (unless Reading was a festival for reading at, that is!). “I Killed The Zeitgeist” is inspired by: The Shining Path, C86, J D Salinger, the Mary Chain, Jeremy Deller, The Thick Of It, Dennis Potter, Teenage Fanclub, Ringo’s drumming, Krautrock, typewriters not computers, Watership Down, Adam Green, Plastic Ono Band, Sway, The Loft, Wales in September. . .
Ritual No.1, a sort of Life Of Wire anthem, is exclusive to Once Upon Another Time which wouldn't have happened without Manic Street Preachers being part of the inspiration for Music Tourist Board.
