Yep, everybody is reforming and seminal UK post-punkers Gang Of Four are busy working on new material at the moment, some 15 years after the original line-up disbanded.
Currently recording at guitarist Andy Gill’s London studio, the groups new stuff is being released on a strictly on a D.I.Y basis, as bassist Dave Allen explains ‘We’re doing what bands ought to be doing. We’re writing. This time, there’s no label, no advice of the A&R and marketing folk’ he continues ‘We might be releasing the first single or four songs for free on the Internet, or on vinyl, or both, and just see what the marketplace is like. We’re trying to energize the base, and we know that we’re dealing with an enormous group of new and younger fans.’
Some reunions are so awful they’re barely worth contemplating ie. The Spice Girls, who rolled their brand of tired money making crap into town this weekend (they sold out the arena - unbelievable) and then you’ve got these guys who will hopefully show everyone how it’s done. Here’s a reconstruction of a classic cut from ‘Entertainment’ courtesy of Boston’s Death Row Archie that stays faithful to the original.
