Damaged Goods

I just found out last night that my girlfriend's new survey teacher at the New England Institute of Art is Hugo Burnham, the original drummer of Gang of Four. Epic.

To Hell With Poverty (1981)

What We All Want (1982, opening for The Police)

Ahead of their time is an understatement.  Gang of Four is your favorite band's favorite band.  Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers names Gang of Four's debut "Entertainment" as the single most important influence on RHCP's earliest material as a band, not to mention it is listed as one of Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 greatest albums of all time.  There wouldn't be Fugazi, if there was never Gang of Four first.

Stoked,
