[kj] Death & Resurrection Show Doc

[Paul Wady]

I'd like to think that if any young people with no knowledge of the past like one band, they may start to trace it's roots and sources, where it got it's influences and by the miracle of the electronic information network, find out about this mythical time long in the dark past, when people used magnetic audio tapes, amps with thermionic valves, and an incredible sound was created by skill alone.  Young men, living in squats with little resources, pouring their extraordinary hearts into guitars and vocals, realizing a sonic experience that still shakes the deeper and deeper roots of rock and roll.  

...either that or they just stumble across the cd's as coasters on Mum/Dad's old coffee table.

Killing Joke staying at the level of exposure they have at the
moment – while it rankles that it doesn’t do them justice, especially
with all the talentless high profile numpties, still feels in one sense, like a
brilliant little secret to be in on...

 

But I’d love to see the documentary and Killing Joke get
the exposure they deserve. From what I’ve seen so far it looks brilliant...

Hmmm.
 Who to approach?



 





FORTEAN
TIMES - Pretty obvious choice.  Enough said?





 





NATURE
CHANNEL - Witness the lives of strange, wild creatures that mankind has little
understanding of?  See the tribes use of strange mystic herbs and rhythmic
drum beats.  





 





HISTORY
CHANNEL - These boys changed everything, bravely going over the top and facing
thousands of fans armed only with guitars, drum kits and make up.  History
turned on their words, and nearly ended at one point.  Iceland everyone,
run!  





 





GEOGRAPHY
CHANNEL - Well look where they travel in the film.  





 





Suggestions?

Piper who has something to do with it. He can be contacted at
coffeedesign.co.uk if anyone was really interested. Anyway, here's the extract
from his email that may be of interest:

> 'The KJ film is an unusual one, it started shooting seriously about 3

years ago funded by the director, Shaun, and Jaz from Killing Joke, they'd
known each other for ages so already had a ton of archive footage and by
involving the band we got access to most of their catalogue for percentages in
the film profit.


> 



> The project ran out of money about a year ago and maybe 6 months ago I

started talking to Shaun and got involved, he was already cutting a trailer
etc. for it to show to funders. Because KJ have a decent sized cult fanbase
that's a big selling point to an investor; their fans are very
"hardcore" and will buy just about anything with a KJ logo on it, so
we wanted to make sure they were all aware of the project and hungry for it before
hitting the investors.


> 



> So now we're just starting to hit investors, the trailer has been copied

onto numerous blogs, the social nework accounts are gaining friends at a
reasonable pace and quite a few distributors etc. have heard about it by word
of mouth and come to us, so all round the promotion is helping us close the
money we need to edit. There is a risk we're warming the fanbase up too early
and they'll have a long wait, but a risk we needed to take; not enough people
know who KJ are or what 2012 etc. is about to realise the value of the finished
film without some kind of evidence.'
