[kj] Raven and Pigface

[Todd Zachritz]

I have a great tale to tell concerning Pigface and Killing Joke.

Around '94 KJ were touring the US (with opening act Stabbing Westward).
That same month, Martin Atkins' Pigface were touring the states, and having
worked briefly as a "Field Rep" for Invisible Records, I had a free pass
for the Pigface show. The bands were set to play Cincinnati just a day
apart, so I'd see Pigface on night 1 and Killing Joke on night 2. Cool deal.

Well, my car broke down the first night so I had to miss Pigface. At least
the 3.5 hour trip wasn't a waste, as I got the car fixed in time for the KJ
show (I think it was at Bogart's). It was a great show, and somehow during
the KJ set, a Pigface flyer found it's way on stage. Jaz caught sight of
it, gave it an inquisitive glance, made a face and some smarmy comment, and
proceeded to wipe his ass with it.

Needless to say, there was some bad blood between Martin and Jaz,
well-documented already, but this was pretty hilarious to me!
