Gang of Four and the Faint
2891 University Avenue, San Diego, 92104
Guitarist Andy Gill sounds in top form on the British post-punk band’s new record, What Happens Next, and with a complete overhaul of the group, Gill cites the album and tour as an opportunity to “reimagine Gang of Four from the ground up.” Hard to get past Gill’s angular guitar, and new singer John Sterry sounds a lot like original singer/lyricist Jon King, so maybe not so much from the ground up as from the roof down? Chucking all that, Gang of Four is still a blistering band onstage. They play Observatory North Park with Saddle Creek indie-rock act the Faint.
