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,

Subject: (313) Gang of Four reunite
surprised that this hasn't shown up yet
http://www.nme.com/news/110519.htm
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)
