#RIP Dave Allen of Gang Of Four & Shriekback. His spine was, and shall ever remain, the bassline.

Rest In Power to the incredible and intense bass guitarist Dave Allen, whose work with Gang of Four and Shriekback was a profound influence on my own music when I was at Berklee, and then beyond. I was privileged to get to see Dave with Shriekback in Boston in both 1985 and 1986, and his deep groove, coupled with his post-punk edge, propelled that band to excellence each time. Thank you for the music Mr. Allen!!

Dave Allen was one of the bassists who got me into playing. His mix of slapping & hard plucked bass was fascinating to me. It drove the songs with a growling threat I'd never heard before. In Shriekback it took on another tone like some strange beast emerged form a swamp to drag you around on land for a while before taking you down to a subterranean keep. Sad I never got to meet him but immensely glad I got to hear him. #rip #daveallen #gangoffour #shriekback

My Dad passed away earlier this year from cancer.

The reference photo was taken when my brothers and I took him to DC for his 70th birthday. It was an amazing trip with a lot of laughs and good times.

Unfortunately he didn't make it to his 80th birthday trip.

It was cathartic painting this. I miss you Dad!
