[kj] Message from Jaz for the Gathering : KJ in China !

[Karen Weil]

Here's one explanation:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_China

It's an archaic reference.  

Cheers,

  So now I'm curious. There are the "Low Countries," and (new to me) a "Middle Kingdom," so is there a country with "High" or similar? hm..

    ..is it always a man with a gun...? 
      Someone must have told him if you work too hard... you can sweat"

    Hi all, 



    Just got this message a few minutes ago from Marie Lecocq (the belgium translator of Jaz’s book) who got it from Jaz 



    “Dear all,

    Just to let you know that KJ is heading out to China tomorrow. We are playing one concert in Beijing to 50,000 people.

    With the escalation of tensions in the Korean peninsula, it should be an interesting trip. After much dissent and discussion, 12 tracks were selected out of the 20 recorded. So it is probably the longest Killing Joke album ever. I've just played back the mastered version and feel incredibly proud.

    After China , I'm heading to Australasia and then I look forward to meeting you all on tour.

    Jaz

    PS: Jimmy Cauty has done the front cover. It is the depiction of a GWEN tower.

    PPS: the title of the album is "Absolute Dissent".





    I have 2 questions : 

    is there a chinese gatherer who could film and/or record this gig ?

    What is the official beginning of the group : 1978 or 1979 ?



    Stephane “ Frenchy Frenzy”
