Killing Joke in New York City live at Rockefeller Plaza on a Thurs. morning for
the Today Show, that'll do it. With the cast of 30 Rock and cameo on the show and.. come to think of it, why the hell not KJ not played on Saturday Night Live???????????????????????????

Was it Coachella that had Bauhaus and Wire (and possibly Gang of Four? Could be wrong there though) in recent years? I always thought that would a sensible venue to help KJ move back into the public eye, since I'd imagine a number of fans of those bands would also turn out for Killing Joke.

Yes, the name "Stubb's BBQ" sounds podunk but it is a mid-size venue
with inside bar and another stage area for smaller bands. (Google their
webpage)
My idea for a one-off KJ appearance at Austin's SXSW was that it'd be an
easy thing to do (one show!) but it'd put KJ back on the map in a kind
of buzz-friendly, cool, savvy way. It would not require a US tour but
would effectively say, look, we're still here, and we can can still do
our shit (unles the performance absolutely sucked.). A lot of
punk/post-punk bands etc will come out of hiatus to do one-off SXSW
shows and they usually end up getting big write ups. It'd be hard for me
to imagine a band with KJ's history doing SXSW and not getting a lot of
buzz or just outright attention.
Of course it's too late to do it for this year's fest, which is in a
couple of weeks.
