The Killing Joke Cometh!

The truly awesome and formidable Killing Joke return to Glasgow in October as part of their world tour.

I saw them at the ABC in 2006 with my mate Iain Fugue (Molotov Records & Petrol3 fame) and the gig was ear bleedingly loud but most enjoyable (good metal review eh?).

'Was a massive fan back in the 'Eighties' (I'm livin' in the eighties) and really got fired up when they released the album Killing Joke in 2003. Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell is also never far from my ears via the iPhone.

Actually, I recall driving to Manchester with the Fugue to attend 'In The City' music conference which was run by the late, great Tony Wilson (sadly missed). Due to the Killing Joke album, I think we made it down the motorway in record time!

Asterooooooooooooooooooooooid!

Anyhoo, a most fun packed weekend was had, a footlong! and a fair few bevvies. Iain never took his hat off though, not even in the twin room we had... (is he a supernatural whom can grow hat shaped hair!?!)

Right, I'm waffling.... will be at the ABC on Oct 18th to see this jaw-dropping outfit. All you readers (all 3 of you) should seriously consider the gig too.
