white noise in a white room
Went to see Gang of Four last night with Brandon. I really like fat drummers, and I really like dudes who wear headset mics, so when I first saw Hugo Burnham I pretty much immediately knew it was going to be a great night. I don't have much to add to SA's post, really. Gang of Four were completely amazing. The songs that weren't from Entertainment! were mostly kind of dull, but there were only like four of them, and one, "To Hell With Poverty", was a highlight. They seem to be playing the same set, as it matched up almost perfectly with what Sean mentioned in his post. They did the two encores, finishing up with "I Found That Essence Rare". The bass-sound was fine, thankfully, and Gill's guitar is still pretty mind-blowing. They all look awful, of course, but that's what you expect from these reunion deals. But yes, Gang of Four were utterly fantastic, and those Radio 4 assholes are total douchebags.
