Between last nite and Sept 4th over a dozen 80's acts have announced dates here in the City Of Brotherly Love,talk about "start as you mean to go on!"
To mark their 35th anniversary which in of it's self is a remarkable fete Jez and Geordie are on the road to promote their retrospective "The Singles Collection" a audio feast of Killing Joke songs from their 1980 self titled debut through last years "MMXII" there is a little something for everyone on this tour.
My introduction to "Notting Hill's finest" was 85's "Night Time" which yielded three kick arse singles "Eighties" "Love Like Blood" and "Kings And Queens" of which the first two songs made last nites set list,it would be churlish to whine that "Kings & Queens" not making it,afterall there were plenty of tunes from their 15 studio albums to make up the setlist from "Requiem" "Wardance" and "The Wait" off of "Killing Joke to"Corporate Elect" off of "MMXII.
If the kink in my neck today is anything to go by Killing Joke have lost none of their vim and vigor since they first assaulted our ears w/ their "Turn To Red" EP. back in 79,miss them on this tour at your peril!
