gang of four at royal festival hall

did anyone go? so gutted, just had the "report" from my mate who went and it sounds like it was incredible.

who is in the new lineup? i know andy gill and jon king are still playing, but apparently they were incredibly tight, so is it ex-members or something?

  • According to their Myspace

    Thomas McNeice and Mark Heaney. Google says Heaney was in the Seahorses and The Shining and since has drummed for Klaxons and Badly Drawn Boy and McNeice was in, good god, El Presidente.

    • Good lord

      I didn't think it was possible for a band like Gang Of Four to stoop so low.

    • The Kaxons drummer I saw on Jools was ace

      could definitely handle sitting in w/ some geezer art rockers.

        • Kaxons is a definite freudian slip.

          Gail Ann Dorsey was on bass on Friay.

  • The gig

    was really fucking incredible... Played all the old stuff but it was much better than some punk revival shit. From what I've heard, both Wire and Gang of Four will be at Offset.

  • The line up was:

    Andy Gill on guitar, Jon King singing, Gail-Ann Dorsey on bass (she's in David Bowie's band) and Mark Heaney on drums.

    In his defence, he was very good. From where we were sitting he had the same style as Stephen Morris. Very minimal and powerful.
