Jamie, i dont think they did both Hammersmith gigs (RLYL that is) but they definately did one. I also remember the Guana Batz supporting too, they were great fun.

I do remember seeing Big Black support KJ at Hammy Palais in 1986.  They weren't advertised beforehand (and so perhaps don't count in this debate!) but of course they feckin rocked.Play Dead and Danse Society were good (in '83 at Hammy Palais again, Fire Dances tour I guess).I didn't rate Skunk Anansie.Jamie-----Original Message-----From: Colin Bamford <colin.bamford at works.co.uk>To: 'A list about all things Killing Joke \(the band!\)' <gathering at misera.net>Sent: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 16:24Subject: Re: [kj] (OT) Treponem Pal



On bands that have supported Killing joke i can only think of 2 that were any good. Red Lorry yellow lorry ( remember them i think they made just one album ) they toured on Brighter thn a thousand suns. The other was skunk Anasis ( i think thats how you spell it ) on the pandemonium tour.
 
But you are right about some of the groups must be friends/ bar mates.,on the 1991 tour there was a group who were really bad, never caught the name and glad i didnt

Talk about wanting to stab my eardrums with knitting needles. And I'm still receiving therapy after being subjected to Stabbing Westward five times in 1994. Speaking of KJ in the states, the shows in NYC and Chicago are going to be a switch for me. I've seen them 10 times already, but only in Midwestern backwaters like Cleveland, St. Louis and Kansas City, and never with more than 200 - 300 people in the crowd, most of whom are rubberneckers checking KJ out for their curiousi ty value. It will be good to see them in a larger venue with (hope hope) good-size crowds who are actually into the music. Fingers crossed.

I have not seen Killing Joke bring a good band yet.  And there are several ways to think about this1. The band is friends/comrades/bar tab mates/etc. and they do not pay attention if the band stinks2. Since the bands are usually on the small side they are cheap3. They won't have their own crowd show up.....thus they won't upstage Killing Joke.I'll bet it is a little bit of each.  October File, Treponem, Amen, Stabbing Westward, all..........are okay.........but if I never hear their music my life wouldn't be any lessChris in Detroit

Hello!
 
I don't know how everyone else felt, but I was really impressed by Treponem Pal. I heard a few of their tracks way back in the days of Raw Power and Noisy Mothers, but nothing since then. However, I enjoyed their set immensely. Not a patch on the Joke, but ten times better than the crap emaciated Iggy-wannabe that preceded them. Do any of the Gatherers have any idea of TP's setlist for their recent shows?
 
Mind you, it's almost impossible to find any of their material on the net. Arse!
