Idles in Brooklyn during their Joy As An Act Of Resistance world tour (Paul Bachmann / Live4ever)
Idles are among those paying tribute to legendary Gang Of Four guitarist Andy Gill.
Idles’ contribution to The Problem Of Leisure: A Celebration Of Andy Gill And Gang Of Four is streaming online now.
“IDLES does not exist without Gang Of Four,” the band say. “Damaged Goods still sounds new and exciting after the millionth listen. We jumped at the chance to just to play it, let alone record it. It was an honour, a joy and a privilege.”
The faithful cover of Damaged Goods is on the tracklist along with other post-punk classics such as Natural’s Not in It, which has been taken on by Tom Morello & Serj Tankian, and To Hell With Poverty, whose privilege went to Hotei.
