[kj] party pooper/from un des etrangers......

[Neil Perry]

'Ungrateful'... hmm... I should be so grateful that KJ
have finally got their act together to play a gig that
I should gloss over the fact it was bad?

And all those other KJ gigs I've seen where they HAVE
had a clean, crisp powerful sound... were they just
flukes? (One of the cleanest, crispest live sounds
I've ever experienced was Slayer.)

Of course the three old ladies enjoyed it more.
They're fucking deaf.
