[kj] great moments in KJ history, number 8

[Rob]

Antoni,
thanks for that, did the Porchester Hall gig go ahead? - can't imagine the
'personal greet at the door' routine would've lasted too long
though.......excellent picture, Jaz looking calm and relaxed, poor old
Atkins' head has doubled in size since (80's hair prob.)
2 weeks off work? not here you wouldn't
 
horbag

Right, I must admit my increase in postings is a combination of two factors.
Firstly, I'm damn excited about the imminent gigs but secondly it helps to
be signed off from work for 2 weeks with chicken pox. Fantastic. Hence, a
bit more time on my hands. Therefore, a dip into the archives is the perfect
tonic. Back to the dark days of 1988 following the acriminous KJ split then
release of the Outside The Gate LP to fairly universal condemnation (though
it still holds a place in my heart). So, what could be worse ? Apart from
Chelsea getting relegated, as they duly were ... then my marriage broke up.
So, what happened in my time of need ? The boys duly delivered. It was
announced that Killing Joke was back. ODIC letters were received in the
post, signed by Jaz & Geordie. I was ecstatic. Not just back, but with a
real statement of intent. The new album was to be called "Extremities" ...

<http://home.clara.net/antoni/newkj88a.jpg>  ... the dry humour was still
evident as Andy Rourke was briefly onboard yet jettisoned ... and a
legendary & cultured gig to boot ... which included an early performance
from Talvin Singh, many years before he received his Mercury Music Prize ...
if only I could remember much about the evening ... I was so horribly drunk
... Regards, Antoni
