Gang of Four, the influential British post-punk band formed in Leeds in 1977, is releasing a new CD, Live… In the Moment, September 9 on Metropolis Records. The album was recorded at the band’s sold-out show at London’s Islington Assembly Hall last year. A companion live DVD features their sold-out concert at New York City’s Irving Plaza.
