Seminal post-punkers Wire made an appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night -- their first U.S. appearance in twenty-five years, according to the host. For the broadcast, they played "Red Barked Trees", the tensely slow-burning closing track of this winter's Red Barked Tree (Pink Flag). Then they did a web-only performance of the classic 154 track "Map Ref 41N 93W". Watch them below, and check the dates of their current North American tour on their website. [The Audio Perv]
