[kj] KJ triple bill tour

[nicholas fitzpatrick]

If we could extend the roster to New Model Army and Red Lorry Yellow 
Lorry, I'd buy a ticket. Could we squeeze Six Gang Children on too? I 
think The Cult should come on first as Southern Death Cult, then after a
 wardrobe change the Death Cult, before finally coming back as The Cult.
 

I think the encore should be a goth supergroup.

Jumping back into this conversation late. Again, were it 1987, this triple bill would be all I could ever hope for. I was a HUGE fan of the Mish and the Cult, and the notion of the three of them sharing a single stage would've almost seemed too good to be true.But the passage of time is a cruel bitch.Both the Cult and the Mish have seen and done far too many dubious things since those glorious days. Not that the Joke haven't, but for some reason, it does seem like the Joke have retained their dignity when compared to the other two (especially the Mish).OTG notwithstanding, Killing Joke have striven to move forward, bless'em. 

By this stage of the proceedings, The Cult and The Mission occupy the reunion tour circuit. They might as well be touring with The Fixx (who I also used to like).For Killing Joke to OPEN for these two bands is insulting, being that neither band would have existed without Killing JOke (well, the Sisters, who begat the Mish, clearly owed the Joke a heavy debt). Regarding the Cult, I remember reading that the only reason Billy Duffy bought his big white hollow-body guitar was because it reminded him of Geordie's.It's not as bad as opening for Motley Crue, but it does sting. By the same token, though -- at least all these guys KNOW and respect each other. Alex in NYC

I think there were some rehearsals/demo tracks committed to tape but
they are long lost in the mists of time.
