Dave Allen Gang of Four RIP 08:32 - Apr 8 with 641 views

Sad news. The group formed in Leeds and emerged in the late 70s when I was studying there. They didn't have much commercial success but influenced artists like R.E.M, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kurt Cobain and Franz Ferdinand..

Good article about their debut album, which featured as No.13 in Kurt Cobain's top 50 albums.

Sad news. Clem Burke yesterday, Dave Allen today.
I would have loved to have seen Entertainment-era Gang of Four live but I'm just not old enough. I actually discovered the band Dave was in after Gang of Four, Shriekback before I knew of Gang.
