[kj] Killing Joke and the U.S.

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Yeah, New Model Army in US are not "popular" but have managed a somewhat 
comprehensive tour of the US regardless. Someone brought up that KJ were 
barely known in the US. Same with NMA, or much less the dozens of 
crustpunk bands that regularly tour the US from Scandinavia and Japan.

My initial wish, over a year or so ago, was that KJ would play Austin's 
SXSW (March) fest as a one-off deal; that'd surely net them more than 
300 people, create buzz, etc.

If KJ want assurances that at least 1000 plus people will be at every 
show in the US, well, they might have to piggyback on the likes of 
Motley Crue which they already did --in  Europe!
