\u2018Forty years ago this summer I met Big Paul, one year later we released our first EP. Our fortieth anniversary celebrations will therefore be stretched over 2 years and begins with a world tour, parties and talks by\u00a0<\/i>Youth and myself,\u00a0a new magnum opus by KJ, who is ,after all this time, recognised as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time. Love is the law let the festivities begin!!!\u00a0<\/i>\u201c\u00a0Jaz<\/b>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cForty years in the wilderness …Thought that was supposed to be 40 days.<\/i><\/div>\n
As Jaz reminds me \u201cSurvival is success\u201d and although the band have never been fiscally fat commercially, it has allowed us to have incredible lives, both individually and collectively and we have created a very rich wealth of uncompromising music. It\u2019s a \u00a0legacy, that spans 4 decades \u2026.40 years of spine tingling, uncompromising beautiful noise.<\/i><\/div>\n
The band continue to inspire and bludgeon down the bullshit in the world into a white hot, blast furnace Dub of unrelenting passion, a rollercoaster, white knuckle punch in the face of beautiful agony\/reality and timeless cosmic joy and soul.\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
To commit to the creative beauty and vision you have as an artist, is an almost perverse way to live a life and the cost and consequences are immense…yet this is how we inform ourselves as a society, \u00a0of what is real and important In a world of fake news and fake emotions …Like Shiva dancing the world into existence, \u00a0we are all simultaneously destroying and creating every moment of our reality . It is not though politics that the world is changed but through Art. Art alone can tell us who we really are, emotionally, intellectually and physically, far better than anything else. That is why we have committed so much, for so long to this one idea …Killing Joke\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
Thanks to all the fans and gatherers that have supported and joined us in this endless quest.\u201d\u00a0<\/i>Youth<\/b>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Killing Joke<\/b>\u00a0the tour started in the United States at the Studio Seven in Seattle on Saturday, 1st\u00a0<\/sup>September before\u00a0<\/b>heading into mainland Europe. This run of 45 shows concludes at the Roundhouse in London on Saturday, 17th\u00a0<\/sup>November.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
Very much music as ritual \u2013 raw, uncompromising and precisely-targeted lyrically;\u00a0Jaz Coleman<\/b>,\u00a0Geordie<\/b>,\u00a0Youth<\/b>\u00a0&\u00a0Big Paul<\/b>, the\u00a0original\u00a0Killing Joke<\/b>\u00a0<\/i>personnel, are currently delivering the best and most relevant material of their career, with no mellowing or softening of the edges getting in the way.<\/div>\n
With collective nostrils flared and righteous anger carried torch-high,\u00a0Killing Joke<\/b>\u00a0continue to take their music of resistance to fresh levels, both in the studio and out on the road\u2026<\/div>\n
