Stabbing Westward is on tour behind the revamped version of its breakthrough album

Hall isn’t bitter. In fact, he understands. “We’re old,” Hall said. “We’re imprinted with the songs we grew up with.

When I see Gary Numan, I want to hear the older songs.

I try to absorb his new stuff, but sometimes I check out a little.” So don’t expect new tunes from Stabbing Westward when the band performs Friday at the Pacific Electric.

The synthesizer-driven alt-rock act is touring behind “Wither Rewired,” a complete re-recording of its 1996 breakthrough release, “Wither Blister Burn & Peel.” Such hits as “What Do I Have to Do” and “Shame” are revamped.
