[kj] KJ 2003 - 2013

[fatpotanga]

ravens passing definitely brought about change in many ways, from BPF to stuff like just getting healthy.
It certainly took them away from the whole chugga-chugga-shout spiral they seemed to have got stuck in.
It rejuvenated them.
Also Transmission played a part in all this by getting the rhythm section playing together again & hopefully whetting appetites.
Just remembered this - chatting to Paul when me & Rob 'roadied' for them, he told me that Raven was looking into doing his own clothing range.

anyway lots to look forward to. 2013 - finally the year of the Joke?!

It feels to me as though they are still only at the beginning of their resuscitation, but in fact we've had 4 albums, several tours, a big re-union, almost a spoken-word album (it's the thought that counts), at least one lecture - AND it appears  there's still a bit more fruit to shake off the tree this year with more music, a book and allegedly a film.
