RIP Dave Allen
That's the post. This is one that makes me deeply sad.

That's really sad; the OG band isn't doing that well. I managed to see them a couple times when they did their first reunion in the early 2000s and they were still so good. I should probably see the current version one last time on this tour.

Re: RIP Dave Allen
I think I saw Go4 once and Shriekback once. Dave was a singular talent and the reason I started playing bass myself. He also lived in my town for a while and I had the pleasure of writing for him for a while, so was super lucky to have met him and got to go to a couple industry parties and such. A really great guy and what a sad way to go.
Never saw Gang of Four before, always wanted to. Now with 50% of the OG band gone... shit.
