[kj] OT: NMA US tour cancelled...

[Christof hamille]

Here in Detroit Killing Joke do far better than NMA in recent years.  Last 
time they were through it was at a 300 person club and 50 showed up.  BUT 
the club didn't promote for shit.  And from what I understand NMA outsell 
Killing Joke in England.
