About
Gang of Four are an English post-punk band, formed in 1976 in Leeds. The original members were singer Jon King, guitarist Andy Gill, drummer Hugo Burnham, and bass guitarist Dave Allen. There have been many different line-ups including, among other notable musicians, Sara Lee, Gail Ann Dorsey, Mark Heaney and David Pajo. After a brief lull in the 1980s, different constellations of the band recorded two studio albums in the 1990s. Between 2004 and 2006 the original line-up reunited; Gill toured using the name between 2012 and his death in 2020. In 2021, the band announced that King, Burnham, and Sara Lee would be reuniting for a US tour in 2022 with David Pajo on guitar. They continued to perform live, including at the Cruel World Festival in Pasadena, California; headlining Luna Fest in Coimbra, Portugal, and a UK Tour in October 2023. They then announced that their "Long Goodbye" tour in 2025 would be their last headlining tour of the US and Europe. For this tour, King and Burnham were joined by Ted Leo on guitar and Gail Greenwood on bass.
