No próximo domingo dia 29 teremos uma serie de shows gratuitos na Praça da Independência em São Paulo, entre estes o do Gang of Four . Assim, o Tinha Uma Banda de hoje é todo dedicado à esta banda. Apesar de não ter alcançado grande sucesso comercial, o Gang of Four é uma das bandas de pós punk mais influentes no cenário musical. Em 79 foi lançado Entertainment, e ao longo dos anos este álbum ressoou em bandas como Franz Ferdinand , [...]

Uno de los festivales que pronto se celebrará en Inglaterra, es el Hop Farm Festival , un evento que cumple un poco con las expectativas de un Woodstock al celebrarse durante durante 3 días en un espacio de 90 acres. Pero lo importante es que el festival cuenta con un lineup increíble: The Eagles, Bryan Ferry y Death Cab for Cutie , tan sólo el 1er día; al siguiente día se podrán escuchar contenidos en un mismo espacio en diferentes horarios a Morrissey, Iggy and The Stooges, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Manu Chao La [...]
It's always interesting to see what bands are buying when they visit Amoeba in San Francisco, and here the store's long-running series talks to Jon King and Andy Gill of post punk legends Gang of Four. Among the purchases are Brian Eno's Small Craft on A Milk Sea , which sparks an amusing anecdote; a copy of the Steve McQueen movie Bullitt ; and plenty of reggae compilation albums. The most surprising choice? That would have to go to a copy of Kanye West's latest record—it turns out King is a big fan of the hip-hop star, although [...]

Leeds, 1976, les Trente Glorieuses n'en finissent plus d'agoniser dans ce comté du Yorkshire. En réponse à la désindustrialisation et à la crise minière touchant particulièrement cette région ouvrière, syndicalisme et grèves monstres prolifèrent sous fond de crispations identitaires et d'inévitable retour de la droite conservatrice au pouvoir. Celle-ci, conduite d'une main de fer par Margaret Thatcher, s'arroge dès 1979 les rênes du Royaume, déclarant derechef la guerre au Trade Unions Congress, fédération syndicale à tendance ouvertement communiste, quand bien même le chômage explose. Partagée entre une population étudiante éprise de trotskisme [...]

Once punk got started major innovations were happening all over the place as early as it began in the 702s.

On Tuesday April 2011 they will be playing for the first time live on wfmu's Brian Turner's radio show between 3-6pm est. Be sure to tune in as they resurrect punk on the airwaves. Their third album 154 is among the trilogy of their break-out experimentation [...]

Alright, alright...I'm a huge fan of the punk (and related) genre. Punk was the first thing I got in touch with as a kid and this encounter has truly influenced my life and tastes regarding music forever. Thus, with that, I bring you a little list of bands from the past and present that fall into the punk genre and punk subgenres. This music isn't for everybody, but if you are into this kinda stuff then this list is for bands that are worth remembering and/or checking out. 1. Bad Brains If [...]

ARTIST: Gang Of Four - [Album] DATE: 03-23-11 REVIEW BY: Bill Adams No matter who you are or which philosophy you subscribe to, there's no arguing that fifteen years is a long time. Especially now – when the internet and diminished attention spans have reduced Andy Warhol's vaunted "fifteen minutes of fame" to as many nanoseconds or mouse clicks – a band [view more]

I can think of no better songs for our times.
Set for the first week of July in Kent, England, Hop Farm Fest aims for a "return to the basics," where legends of past and present play amidst 30,000 festival-loving folks who all paid one universal price. As the festival's website puts it, there's no sponsorship, no branding, no VIP attitude. If it sounds too good to be true that's because it probably is, but the Hop Farm Fest has pushed this Utopian idea for the past three summers and will again in 2011. This year's festivities, set for July 1st and 2nd, will feature a [...]

If your jaw weren't already on the floor, the likes of Velvet Underground groaner Lou Reed , senior gyrator and cronies Iggy & The Stooges and bona fide indie goddess Patti Smith are all set for the 4th annual bash, taking place over the weekend of 1st and 2nd July. Other new additions include prime Slough gritpop from young hopefuls Brother , the rejuvenated [...]
