The British post-punk group recorded the classic 1979 debut album 'Entertainment!'
Alongside other bands such as Wire, the Mekons, and the Fall, Gang of Four were one of the leading voices of British post-punk music during the late 1970s.In a 2015, Gill said of the band's origins around the time of the British punk rock explosion:"I think the thing that changed was the subject matters were overtly blown open. The conversation could now be about anything you like.
In addition to his work with Gang of Four, Gill was also a producer who helmed albums for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Futureheads, among others. In the wake of Gill's death, fans, musicians and writers paid their respect to Gill Saturday on social media--including Gary Numan, Wilko Johnson, Pixies, former R.E.M. member Mike Mills, and the Futureheads.
"Really bummed to hear of Andy Gill's passing. He, and the rest of the Gang, changed how we attacked the live show, gave us a bar to try and rise to. And so much metallic volume...good bye to one of the best. R.I.P., Andy," tweeted Mills.
