In a move that makes for a convincing case for the slow death of the record label, agit-rockers Gang of Four are poised to release their first set of new songs in 16 years on Jan. 25. ‘Content’ — the band’s seventh album — has been entirely funded by fans who have made pledges of investment via the Pledge Music website in return for a plethora of collectable material including signed T-shirts, hand-written lyric sheets and even phials of the band’s own blood.
In a further bid to raise revenue to cover the recording costs of the album, Gang of Four also sold Walkmans (remember them?) with bootlegs of the band’s first ever gig for a mere £175 ($271) as well as downloadable memorabilia including old reviews and gig posters.
