Gang of Four

Gang of Four

Gang of Four es una banda formada en Leeds, Inglaterra, en 1977. Estuvieron activos hasta 1986 y reunidos a principios de los 90?s y luego en 2004 con la alineación original. Su estilo se destaca por una aún actual mezcla de punk, funk y dance, un género conocido como post-punk o dance-punk y que compartían con Joy Division, The Raincoats, Devo, New Order (sí, despues de Ian), entre otras. Su disco más reconocido fue ?Entertaiment?, donde la mezcla mas clara de funk y punk se hace notar (Se nota influencia en los primeros años de los Red Hot Chili Peppers como referencia), sus siguientes discos reflejan mas la mezcla del punk/funk y lo electrónico. Destaca el contenido social de sus letras, con influencia de pensamiento socialista y de denuncia contra las injuticias del capitalismo, al grado que en este sentido se les clasifica como representantes de un neo-marxismo punk. Sus actuales hijos se entornan en el post-punk revival, siendo The Rapture, !!!, Clinic, Art Brut, Death From Above, Klaxons, Pretty Girls Make Graves. Discografía: Entertaiment! (1979), Solid Gold (1981), Another Day Another Dollar Ep (1982), Live At The Palace (1984), Hard (1984), Peel Sessions Ep (1986), Shrinkwrapped (1995)

Letra de Call Me Up (If I'm Home)
Call me up, If I'm home
Don't say too much, I might be upset
Let us agree to differ
We're consumed by competition

Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)

Call me up, if I'm alone
I don't like to spend too much time on my own
I need to have diversion
Consume me with a new passion

Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)

We are all in competition
Better move fast gobble up your dinner
Take a tip - get hip!
It's not so bad in the promised land
It's not so bad in the promised land
It's not so bad in the promised land
How do I fill my days?
A force called "Hard Cash" moves my feet

We are all in competition
It's the one thing that is simple
We are all in competition
It's not so bad in the promised land

Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)

Children of the pleasure culture
Who must be grateful for what we've got
Happy smiles in sunny climes
So don't upset the ice-cream cart

Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
Having fun is my reason for living
(Give me a break)
