Jon King – Gang of Four

Подробнее о видео

Jon King reflects on his memoir, To Hell with Poverty, and the tumultuous birth of Gang of Four. King reflects on the curious dichotomy of his privileged schooling and working-class heritage, his fateful arrival in Leeds, and the catalytic jolt of a New York trip that sent him and Andy Gill hurtling toward musical revolution.






From the incendiary early gigs to their courtship by EMI and Warner Brothers, King dissects the group’s confrontational ethos, the razor-edged brilliance of Entertainment!, and the seismic impact of tracks like ‘Love Like Anthrax.’ Along the way, he tells us of their Top of the Pops skirmish, their uncompromising political stance, and what the future holds for Gang of Four’s final tour.
