[kj] Colemangate drags on...

[Paul Wady]

Oh for God's sake....
Yeah, I see what you are getting at.  This is bloody stupid!  Look, are they playing with The Mission and The Cult or not?

I like both bands because I don't take them as seriously as I do KJ.  Especially the mad-carry on with Mission lyrics.  Cult are good?  

Which is my point, really.  Not to be too bothered about a man who stands in front of a church congregation in that film clip of TDARS, saying crap like that?  
So...could we discuss the weather now?  Been good here in UK but its cold and rainy the past few hours....

Here is the original post taken from the comments section of the KJ facebook page. You can decide the semantics of "dictate" over the weekend. I don't know Cormac anymore than I know Jaz, but this strikes me as more "overeager fanboy" than "trusted secretary:"


 
Dear Gatherers,
Below is a message from Jaz dictated to me and reproduced verbatim.


The evening included a visit to Faust Studios in Prague where I was lucky enough to hear one track from Jaz’s collaboration with Ondrej Smeykal (check out some stuff on Youtube if you have never heard him before. Amazing!). If one track is anything to go by then the CD should be a cracker!


Later in the evening we r...etired to a bar in Karlova 25 and swopped many amusing anecdotes, all of them unrepeatable here!


I trust the good news at the end of Jaz’s message compensates for the disappointment, for some, at the beginning. I, for one, am delighted.


Cheers,
Cormac

Dear Gatherers,


It gives me great pleasure to announce the cancellation of the upcoming gigs with The Cult and The Mission.
Frankly, playing at a gig with The Cult never appealed to me in the first place. The only reason we allowed ourselves to be talked into it was to blow both bands off the stage and to steal their respective audiences.


As the concert has been downgraded to a venue that we have recently headlined (and sold out) it doesn’t make sense. In addition to this Gatherers would only get to listen to a one hour set.


Then there would be a problem with the dressing room and witnessing The Cult charge the fans $200 per head for a Meet & Greet.
Lastly, all their songs suck! They clearly have no integrity (they refer to their hometown as L.A.).


On a more positive note KJ will be recording in Argentina just after Christmas and Brixton Academy is booked for Spring.
I do believe the band will play a private gig at Metropolis Studios (London) which is of course open to all Gatherers (you are the first to know!).


I hope you are all as relieved as I am!
Black Jester


PS I don’t want your money
PPS Life without KJ is unthinkable!
