Dave Allen

"Dave Allen of Gang of Four."

    about me
    Dave Allen is an iconoclast who is over the status quo. He can be found sniffing around the confluence of the internet, music, branding, marketing and social networking arenas. He is a founding member and bass player for the post-punk band Gang of Four who are currently in the midst of a completely unexpected reunion. His fast-growing blog, Pampelmoose.com, is the place to go to gain insight into his thinking about how the music industry has been derailed by the internet and why he believes in the “feels free” idea of music delivery. He is a strong proponent of the Long Tail theory.
