[kj] KJ confirmed for Czech metal fest in August:

[adrianwason at btinternet.com]

i'm trying to think of bands that would be appropriate at a kj type festival the only one ive seen is finsbury.
the problem is they have few if any peers.
uuum i could say the cocteau twins (but they're not around anymore)
they toured with joy division of course but new order have gone in a different direction
PIL
then you'vr got all the bands that  have supported them october file/tribazik etc
prong have gone shit again
Senser -I;ve just discovered-thanks to a few hints from gatherers they have something different about them
Didn't Jaz once say he would like to play with Rammstein?

i dont think they should do metal festivals they're not metal but they just dont fit into other types of festivals (IMO)

Agreed. I think it does the band's legacy more harm than good. I know that sounds histrionic, but it strikes me that Killing Joke are never going to be taken seriously (outside of the converted/faithful) when they're rubbing shoulders with the lower brow metal bands. Sorry, there it is.

Alex in NYC

++++++++++++

I really don't understand why Killing Joke doesn't do more of the (sp?)Glastonbury/Sonosphere/Lollapalooza type alt-centric festivals that I would otherwise think would appeal to and grow their fanbase.  Even a support spot at Coachella would probably open a lot of doors for them.
