The Collapse Board Interview: Andy Gill (Gang of Four)

Ahead of their rearranged Australian tour dates, featuring Entertainment being played in full, we spoke to Gang of Four’s legendary Andy Gill about his song-writing processes, what motivates him to keep touring and why he thinks the band’s 2005 original line-up reunion was misguided. *** Hi Andy, what are you up to today?

Iceage – New Brigade (What’s Your Rupture?)

Iceage have the wisdom to be brief: what they evoke is too much to bear for too long.
