Downey Mildew covering the Gang of Four

Downey Mildew are a band I know next to nothing about. On May 24, 1987 at McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, California half or REM, Opal, Russ Tolman, Steve Wynn and Natalie Merchant put on short performances. This version of Damaged Goods by the Gang of Four really stands out!

Mark Burgess of Chameleons fame was a big Joy Division fan back in the day. On June 19, 2003 he and his band covered Love Will Tear Us Apart and here it is.
