[kj] It starts...Album & tour Postponed to September

[sade1]

Killing Joke being Killing Joke.

"..see the patterns in the wind and in th e band..."
 
... ... ... ... ... ... 

[looking at the current state of things..]
 
'Who has the fun.. 
  ..is it always a man with a gun...? 
    Someone must have told him if you work too hard... you can sweat"

Yes very very lame!
If the record company want to promote the shit out of it there is nothing stopping them 
Cancelling a load of dates means less promotion.
Release a single with the tour release the album do another tour do lot's of interviews air play etc.
 
This is supposed to be a 30th anniversary world tour for fuck sake , not just a a bunch of shows at the tail end of the year.
 Pandemonium they did at least three tours promoting the album and singles from it.
 
What happened to the genuine acceptable reasons that could not yet be mentioned by others?
 
Turns out to be corporate bullshit , the record company are assholes .
Shame the band could not have stood firm and told them so.

Yep fraid it's true. I had a phone call last night (don't ask) telling me that because the new album is "so fucking hot" the record company want to "promote the shit out of it" and don't have the time to give it maximum exposure. Seems it's out of the bands hands *looks upwards* and they are not happy.  Can't say much more at the moment.
 
Fucking lame!
 
I said they should at least honour some dates (London, Prague, Paris etc.) as the fire is beginning to burn out and the true Gatherers are getting a little chilly.  Wonder if they give a flying fuck!
 
Going to Prague for a weekend away anyway as I'm fucked if I'm losing out.
 
Get up. WAKE UP! - someone's taking you for a ride!
 
Not LaughingChris

I heard today from a reliable source that it is all off ... and it's due to the record company wanting to properly promote the album cos they like it so much ... if that's true Spinefarm are a bunch of spineless tossers ... these dates were set up ages ago ... why not just release a single now and do a further tour in the autumn ...
