Lewis is the bassist with punk rock/post-punk band Wire,[1] a band formed in 1976.

Biography

On Wire's first studio album Graham Lewis was credited as Lewis; he continued to be known by this abbreviation; however some subsequent record credits give his full name.^{[citation needed]}

He worked on other music projects, such as Dome (with fellow Wire member B.C. Gilbert),[1] Duet Emmo (a portmanteau of "Dome" combined with Daniel Miller, founder of "Mute" records) P'o, Kluba Cupol, Ocsid (with Jean-Louis Huhta), Where Everything Falls Out (with Kenneth Cosimo and Anna Livia Löwendahl-Atomic), He Said Omala, and Halo. His solo projects have been He Said and Hox.

With bandmate Matthew Simms, Mike Watt (Minutemen) and Bob Lee (The Black Gang), Lewis formed FITTED[2] and released their first album First Fits in November 2019.[3]

Graham studied textiles at Middlesex Polytechnic in London in the early seventies. He later switched to fashion but formed the band before he was able to have a substantial career in this world. The time at art school was very influential on his later music as he was able to go and see a range of bands (usually pub bands) including Kilburn and the High Roads, Ramones, Dr Feelgood etc.

Lewis lives in Uppsala, Sweden.
