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?

> '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.'
