Gang of Four

Content Gang of Four

Gang Of Four, one of the most radical and radically important groups of the last thirty years, are set

to release their first album of new songs for sixteen years on January 31th 2011.Entitled CONTENT,

the record sees founding members Jon King and Andy Gill continue to deliver intelligent and liberating

music that is both provocative and thrilling. New tracks include “Who Am I?” “You Don’t Have To

Be Mad,” “I Can’t Forget Your Lonely Face” and “I Party All The Time,” and they reveal Gang Of Four

to be just as challenging and unconventional now as they were in 1978.

The album will be available in a standard CD release and on vinyl. It will also be available in a limited

edition Ultimate Content Can which contains six booklets, the first containing the new album on CD,

the second featuring an art piece Jon and Andy have created to depict the last 40 years of world

history (composed of a series of twenty drawings and montages), and subsequently a book of lyrics,

a book of Rotoscoped photographs of the band's emotions, a book containing sachets of Jon and

Andys' blood and a scratch and sniff booklet which reflects the key areas of human activity.

Gang Of Four are Jon King (vocals & melodica), Andy Gill (guitar & vocals), Thomas McNeice (bass)

and Mark Heaney (drums). Since their inception in 1978 with the legendary Damaged Goods EP and

continuing through albums like Entertainment! (released in 1979 and one of the greatest debut albums

of all time) and groundbreaking albums Solid Gold (1981) and Songs Of The Free (1983),

Gang Of Four have triumphantly defined their place on the musical landscape and been a major influence

on a wide range of bands including R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth, Bloc Party,

The Rapture and Franz Ferdinand.
