07.07: Kevin J. H. Dettmar in Conversation with Dave Allen
2014-06-13 18:39:14| Powells Books Events Calendar
Following hard on the explosion of British punk, in 1979 Gang of Four produced postpunk's smartest record, Entertainment! For the first time, a band wedded punk's angry energy to funk's propulsive beats — and used that music to put across lyrics that brought a heady mixture of Marxist theory and situationism to exposing the cultural politics of everyday life. Kevin J. H. Dettmar's Gang of Four's Entertainment! (33 1/3) (Bloomsbury) explores the brilliance of this influential album. Dettmar will be joined in conversation by Gang of Four bass guitarist Dave Allen.
