[kj] KJ US Dates

Fri Mar 1 19:48:16 EST 2019

I'm with you, Alex.  The Punk Rock Bowling thing seems like a bit of a waste and too "fake".  Some past bands, and now KJ, surprised me being on the lineup - it must pay well.

Thanks, Kevin

 I've seen the ads. Along with Killing Joke comes storied
 San Francisco band Flipper with David Yow of the Jesus
 Lizard filling in for the deceased Will Shatter, for those
 who care. 
 Seeing Killing Joke in Las Vegas is a cognitive
 disconnect, though -- and the whole "punk rock
 bowling" is just a little too NOFX/pop-punk bullshit
 for my taste.
 I picked up the lyric book back in November at
 the Oxford Academy gig --- it is indeed a lovely
 artifact.

 Hey fellow Gatherers.    So. 
  where are these dates coming from...what source?
 I was alerted about the Las Vegas date by some
 vague app my wife has on her phone...   I tried to
 get Tix but it was semi affiliated with the Punk Rock
 Bowling Fesitval maybe?    It required some
 password bullshit.   then I signed up for some
 account with the tix seller....then I was in digital line
 waiting and I got my turn and 4 mins but the password
 bullshit came up again.  There was absolutely no
 information on how to actually obtain tix.  so I said
 fuck this... with justification that would have been a 
 costly trip to Vegas for the sole purpose of seeing KJ and
 many  casual non Gatherer types would likely annoy
 me.     So.  with that said...if
 anyone's got sources on when and where KJ will come to
 the US in May please post it here as soon as you coul-- that
 would be so very kind as You Know...ITs Killing Joke! 
 They--bless their souls-- are the worst marketeers for
 themselves at their own peril and ours!   
 Plus...I'd like to get shit face drunk with Geordie
 twice in a 6 month span!   I need to prepare my
 liver and get it in shape to keep up with
 him!  
 So.   Sounds like they bailed on The
 edge Roundhouse 3LP and posted on their website but what
 about the print and T Shirt in the Mega Bundle? 
  that's what I ordered.   

 Oh...btw.   They Lyric Book did
 come.  it's very nice and well made.   I
 know it's expensive but if you're on the fence
 procrastinating...don't do it too long...the back inside
 cover says limited to 200 copies.   Since they
 posted on their Facebook page obviously the boom will be
 less of an enigmatic purchase if u want one. 
  It's well made.  Nice little KJ bible! 

 cheers.     Anthony

 Just getting into this band, picked up both albums and
 really liking them.  Jools Holland performance I saw
 late last year sold me on ?em. They're playing a round
 of dates in the US in May, looks like the 5/22 show at The
 Fonda in LA will be my first show of 2019. Hopefully it
 won?t clash with rumored KJ date in LA around the same
 time.

 I remember fleetingly discussing them with Rob Moss and some
 others back in November when I was over there, but
 what's everyone's take on the Bristol band, IDLES,
 whose latest album JOY AS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE even caught
 the attention of the Brit Awards (although they did not win
 -- probably for the best).

 I realize there's a bit of backlash about their
 "authenticity" as working class (spearheaded by
 the Sleaford Mods and the Fat White Family), but as far as
 I'm concerned, they make great, bracing music and look
 like they put on a damn entertaining live show. But, again,
 results may vary.

 What say you all?

 Cheers,
