GANG OF THREE
Events 471 Presents
Mark Kermode, esteemed critic and musician, curates an evening of vintage noise on Friday 17th October at Future Yard.
Mark, along with Simon Booth and Stephen Hiscock are Gang Of Three, joining us this autumn to play Gang of Four’s ground-breaking album Entertainment in its entirety.
The Dose and Grenades support.
The evening is a homage to the seminal punk-funk album Entertainment by Gang Of Four — the post-punk heroes who inspired the likes of Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers and REM. Their groundbreaking debut album is widely hailed as one of the most influential records of the post-punk era — it was ranked #5 on Rolling Stone’s list of the greatest punk albums of all time and #273 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
With its mix of jagged guitar lines, driving rhythms, and lyrics that took aim at consumerism, war, and inequality, Entertainment! remains a landmark in political music. On the night, Mark Kermode, Simon Booth and Stephen Hiscock — aka Gang Of Three — will deliver a full-album live performance with punchy riffs, socio-political energy and vintage intensity.
