Ahead of our The Long Goodbye shows in Leeds and London next week (our last ever UK shows), we spoke to
@theguardian.com about our album Entertainment! that we'll be playing in full at those shows.

Read below...
www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

‘Nobody makes a record like that for the money’: how Gang of Four made Entertainment!

‘There was tension with the National Front and swastikas on walls. So I’m proud the album is an outsider classic – but feel depressed these songs are still relevant’

Gang of Four: Seminal post-punk band says this tour is their last

Blending punk, disco, reggae, and funk, with a dash of Marxist theory, Gang of Four offered the sound of dissent for many in Margaret Thatcher’s Britain.

Review from our Milwaukee, WI show...

"Taking a final lap, Gang of Four did not go gentle in to the night on Friday at Turner Hall Ballroom. Appropriately, they raged..."
