[kj] Friday Fun for Everyone: Incongruous US TV Appearances

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

Note that it's latter-period Go4, with Sara Lee on bass instead of Dave Allen. I believe she then played with Robyn Hitchcock and the B-52's before losing her mind entirely in the 90's and ending up with the Indigo Girls and Ani DiFranco.

Gang of Four on Dance Fever? Patti Smith on the "Kids" show? Good. Gawd. 
Well, stranger things have happened. I think.
Thanks for passing those on. 
 
Cheers,

There would be no DM, if it wasn't for Danny Miller ;)
No Plastikman, Luke Slater, a stable for Barry Adamson's solo work.....

I think Wire are missing a Gilbert, without Bruce...

True. I think Wire never got the credit they deserved. Saw em' open for Depeche Mode in 88' @ the Rose Bowl and people were throwing shit at them! I was like WTF? If it wasn't for Wire there would be no DM!
