Dave Allen says, “With July 4 landing on a Wednesday this week seems all messed up but grab your calendar and mark down that The May Fire out of San Francisco, will be playing at The Tonic on Sandy Blvd tomorrow night. Worth seeing. Click the image above to watch the video for Red Eye.”

Matt and Magenta make a public plea to get Dave Allen on the show. Matt gets embroiled in a feud with his friends Mike and Dr. Dave from Pause Kitchen and Bar over Roxy Music and the Cars. Music by Gang of Four, the Swell Maps, Prince, and the Exploding Hearts. Whatever happened to Joe Ferguson? Welcome to episode 25 of Pure Pod For Now People.

Dave Allen says, “In 1979 if memory serves me correctly, Gang of Four was on its second visit to the USA when we played a club in Manhattan called Mothers. I’m no longer sure if the club still exists but the performance we gave that night certainly does. A CD of the live recording arrived in the mail anonymously about 4 years ago just prior to the Gang of Four reunion tours. It’s a patchy recording but it captures the fire and energy of the times, a time when music was still evolving. I’ve decided to make these 12 tracks available for download and today is day 1 of 12 days of offering up the files. Collect the set.”
