RE: (313) Gang of Four reunite

[Jeff Davis]

FAWK - this is huge and long overdue.  one of the few seminal (always
loved saying that word) early post-punk (always hated that moniker) outfits
with all members still alive and coherent.

entertainment was a BIG FRIGGIN deal for me back in 81 and caused me to
rethink many things, musically and otherwise.

i hope they hit japan.

respect,

surprised that this hasn't shown up yet

THE GANG OF FOUR are to reform for a UK tour.


The legendary British post-punk agitators have enjoyed a critical revival
in recent years with new bands like Futureheads, Bloc Party and Franz
Ferdinand citing them as a massive influence.


Now, the original line-up of Jon King, Andy Gill, Dave Allen and Hugo
Burnham have succumbed to public demand and will reunite for the first time
since 1981 for a string of British dates in January 2005.


The dates are:


Manchester Academy (January 23)


Leeds University (24)


Bristol Academy (25)


Birmingham Academy (27)


London Shepherd?s Bush Empire (28)

Hope they hop the pond for some N.A. dates!

Do they have a website - or some place to check for up to date info?

Cheers!
