Killing Joke @ Rock City

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Anyone going to this gig? To say I'm rather excited about attending is an understatement.

The new album is awesome and they're are one of the best live acts I've ever seen.

And of course the best live act are reforming and gigging next April! WHOO FRIKKIN HOO!!!!!

I'm catching them at the Astoria on the 11th. Can't wait as I've been wanting to see them for years.

From what I hear (TBC) - Killing Joke are due to play the Coal Exchange in the docks of Cardiff on Monday October 13th :-)

Any "Heartlanders" apart myself and Mrs Goth likely to be in the audience?

Hope to see some of your there :-)

Lots of colouring in and quiet reading at school then!

Seems we've got to pick up a bit of a sad sack on the way...as long as he doesn't want to stand at the bar for hours after the gig....

:D Just got back from seeing Killing Joke in Liverpool and they were excellent. Enyone who's not got a ticket try to get one, you will kick yourself if you don't.

I can't hear properly my ears are f**ked.

Clint Boon was DJing in the venue after the gig and he was playing lots of old punk and early 80's songs. I was not expecting that from someone who was in / is in the Inspiral Carpets.

Am still in a quandry about Monday night...shall I ? Shan't I? Life's choices are never easy are they?

Depends on how much school stuff I get done this weekend.

But still, Tuesday (despite being THAT day) is going to be fun with a capital FU

Sadly bloody school stuff is the reason I will NOT be going to KJ in Leeds or Manchester! However, the caretaker's going to both & has promised me a full report...if anyone sees a short bloke called Keith with a mop & bucket, muttering 'f*&^ing kids, f*&^ing kids', say hi for me... :P

And oooh you should see the bruises the little warrior is carrying! :D

After Rock City I have decided I prefer Georgie from the right of the stage...he's too receeding from the right!

The bloody Astoria strikes again!! KJ had to cut their setlist short last night cos of the club afterwards. Give me the Forum any time.

But it was a great night! Tension rocked.

I was told today that the Killing Joke gig in Cardiff at the Coal Exchange has been moved to the much smaller MS1 Club, about 200 metres away due to "poor ticket sales"

Knew You'd Be Pleased.....
