Hugo Burnham

Hugo Hamilton Mark Burnham[1] (born 25 March 1956)[citation needed] is an English musician, and drummer for the rock group Gang of Four.

Rolling Stone critic Greil Marcus wrote, "Hugo Burnham play(s) in an economical and precise yet propulsive style, giving the rhythm a piston-like drive."

After leaving EMI Music, he returned to management with Deathray (featuring former members of rock group Cake, Victor Damiani and Greg Brown), then left Los Angeles for Gloucester, Massachusetts, at the end of 1998, adding Little Red Rocket (see Azure Ray), and Boston rock group C60 (whose album he produced with engineer Matthew Ellard), to the Huge & Jolly Management roster.

Gang of Four's original line-up reunited in 2005, with Burnham telling Rolling Stone "It would be folly to go out and try to foist new music on people... What resonates is the old stuff, and we need to go out and do that.

He has re-joined Gang of Four to tour with fellow founder, Jon King and former bassist, Sara Lee with new member, guitarist David Pajo in 2022.
