I was at the LA stop on Gang of Four’s “The Long Goodbye” final tour. I was honored to be asked by the band to design the tour poster, inspired by elements from their Entertainment album cover, their Damaged Goods EP back, and some of the band’s lyrics. The Fonda Theater show was powerful and very emotional for me. If you don’t know Gang of Four, they are post-punk pioneers who are great musically, with an excellent tension between funk, rhythm, and noise. I also love their lyrics, with many of their songs addressing subjects like consumption, capitalism, obsession with power, exploitation, narcissism, and class structure. I was lucky to see the original line-up of Gang of Four live several times in the early to mid-2000s, and they sounded tight and powerful every time. I was very happy when I was asked to design the sleeve for a Gang of Four remix 7-inch in 2005. I like to think that art and music are rare zones where pleasure and intellectual provocation can coexist powerfully. Gang of Four exemplifies that idea. Thanks for all the inspiration, guys!
