[kj] KJ 2008

[Leigh Newton]

Teach him to run in slow motion whilst singing it and you'll really have something to be proud of. Wouldn't hurt to aim a fan at his hair either.

It's my two year old son's favorite song, if only because he can sing along with the gibberish-laden chorus with ease.

Yeah, that Dream Academy song is amazing, by the way.

I saw The Cult play Saturday Night Live (suffering under the indignity of having to share the "musical guest" bill with The Dream Academy of "Life In a Northern Town" notoriety).


Killing Joke on SNL in 2008 has all the likelihood of happening as Osama Bin Laden coming out of hiding wearing an Eminem t-shirt.

 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.
