Reactivated U.K. post-punk greats Wire — who are eying a January release for their as-yet-unnamed 12th album — have announced the launch of their ‘Legal Bootleg Series,’ a download-only concert series that kicks off with choice gigs recorded in 1978, 1988 and 2000.

The Pixies will reissue two post-reunion concert DVDs — ‘Acoustic: Live in Newport’ and ‘Live at the Paradise in Boston’ — on a single Blu-ray disc this summer, bringing together 63 songs over three separate concerts spanning more than 20 years.

The reconstituted Public Image Ltd. today canceled the entire mid-August German leg of its ongoing reunion tour over ‘production scheduling problems,’ and said it has no plans to rebook the six scrapped concerts.

The Pixies continue to map out a busy 2010, with newly announced plans to follow up the band’s second round of U.S. ‘Doolittle’ concerts with a string of Latin American shows this October in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

The briefly reunited Yazoo — or Yaz, as the Vince Clarke/Alison Moyet group was known here in the U.S. — today unveiled the tracklist for ‘Reconstructed Live,’ the 20-song document of its 2008 reunion tour.

Reunited British synthpop unit Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark this week unveiled the tracklist, announced details of a Peter Saville-designed box set and set a September release date for ‘History of Modern,’ the band’s first new album in 14 years.
