Timeline

1954

Colin John Newman (born 16 September 1954) is an English musician, record producer and record label owner.

He is best known as the primary vocalist and songwriter for the post-punk band Wire.

Newman was born in Salisbury, Wiltshire in 1954 and grew up in Newbury, Berkshire.

He later attended the Watford School of Art.

His family is Jewish.

1976

In 1976 Newman formed the band Wire and was its main songwriter, singer and guitarist.

1977

Their first performance was on 19 January 1977 at the London nightclub Roxy.

At the start, the band was considered a part of London's punk rock scene but later reached critical acclaim for their massive influence on post-punk, new wave and alternative rock.

1980

When the band temporarily split in 1980, Newman pursued a solo career.

His first solo album, A-Z, was released in 1980 on the Beggar's Banquet record label.

The album veered from extremely skewed pop to more mainstream numbers, such as "Order for Order", which was compared by some to Gary Numan.

A track from the demos for this LP (but not included on the original vinyl release), "Not Me", was covered by This Mortal Coil on their It'll End in Tears LP; This Mortal Coil then covered the A-Z track "Alone" on their second album Filigree & Shadow.

1981

Newman's second LP, the entirely instrumental Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish, in which all the tracks were titled for numbered fish, was released on the 4AD Records label in 1981.

1982

A third LP, Not To, which along with original compositions reworked a number of tracks originally written for Wire, was released in 1982 on 4AD.

1984

Following this, Newman travelled to India to collect sound recordings before rejoining Wire in 1984.

1986

In 1986, another solo LP, Commercial Suicide, was released on the Crammed Discs label.

A massive change in style for Newman, the album is reflective and highly orchestrated.

His next LP, It Seems, followed a similar path, albeit with far more use of sequencers – something Newman would continue to work with for a number of years.

Both Crammed albums featured Malka Spigel who has been included in all subsequent solo and collaborative work.

1990

Newman's only other de facto solo outing was the mid-1990s release Bastard, an almost entirely instrumental release with tracks largely built from guitar loops and samples.

Released on his own label, Swim ~, the first pressing of the album was packaged with a free copy of Newman's four-track Voice EP.

Despite Newman's name being on the cover, he says these releases, along with several others on Swim ~, are essentially collaborative efforts with his wife and musical partner, Malka Spigel.

1991

Newman's song "Alone" made an appearance in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs in a scene in which the character Buffalo Bill is sewing in a basement.

This song was also covered by This Mortal Coil on their Filigree & Shadow LP.

Newman has produced, arranged and mixed various other artists.

These include Virgin Prunes, Parade Ground, Minimal Compact, Alain Bashung, Silo & Lobe on the production and arrangement side and Hawkwind, Dead Man Ray, Fennesz, Polysics and Celebricide on the mix side.

2000

He has also mixed all new Wire releases since 2000.

Newman has run the Pinkflag label for Wire since 2000.

2004

Since 2004, Newman has worked with Githead, a quartet composed of Newman, Spigel, Max Franken, and Robin Rimbaud.

2016

Immersion re-emerged in 2016.

Newman also re-released his first three solo albums on Swim ~ sub-label Sentient Sonics in 2016.
