[kj] KJ booked for Tuska Festival next summer

[Brendan Quinn]

Probably because they cancel at the drop of a hat and have a miniscule
following.

With the possible exception of Agnostic Front and Exodus, most of the bands
mentioned in this line-up were in diapers when Killing Joke first unleashed
their sound. With all due respect to the metal community, I don't think KJ
is well-served by appearing on bill like this (let alone not even being in
the top billing). Killing Joke should be applauded for being
un-pigeon-hole-able iconoclasts, not workaday noise merchants headbangers.

I agree.  It's always baffled me why Killing Joke hasn't appeared at the
annual Coachella, Lollapalooza or other similar eclectic US rock music
festivals that on the surface, would seem to be ideal showcases for the
band.
