Gang of Four 10/2/15 Spaceland Ballroom

What to do if your band happens to release a near perfect punk-pop gem in 1979? If you are Andy Gill, the sole remaining member of England's Gang of Four, you ride the songs of Entertainment into retirement with a new cast of young guns. Playing some songs from the new What Happens Next release, Gill was clever to dot the entire show with songs from punk's infancy. Entertainment got a fancy 2 disc reissue a few years back, and is still a go to for punk snarl and expertly controlled feedback. New singer didn't miss on favorites At Home He's a Tourist, Damaged Goods, and the tribal Anthrax. How can you argue with lyrics like " love will get you like a case of anthrax.....and that's one thing I don't want to catch!"
