Killing Joke’s Jaz Coleman recently went on a mini rant on the band’s Facebook page about their upcoming supporting slot touring with The Cult being canceled. I love Killing Joke, and I find this quite funny. I also don’t believe they should have had to settle for a supporting slot for The Cult anyway. Co-headlining at the very least. The post has since been deleted, but as with almost anything on the internet it is somehow preserved. Enjoy:
“Dear Gatherers,
It gives me great pleasure to announce the cancellation of the upcoming gigs with The Cult and The Mission. Frankly, playing at a gig with The Cult never appealed to me in the first place. The only reason we allowed ourselves to be talked into it was to blow both bands off the stage and to steal their respective audiences. As the concert has been downgraded to a venue that we have recently headlined (and sold out) it doesn’t make sense. In addition to this Gatherers would only get to listen to a one hour set.
Then there would be a problem with the dressing room and witnessing The Cult charge the fans $200 per head for a Meet & Greet.
Lastly, all their songs suck! They clearly have no integrity (they refer to their hometown as L.A.).
On a more positive note KJ will be recording in Argentina just after Christmas and Brixton Academy is booked for Spring.
I do believe the band will play a private gig at Metropolis Studios (London) which is of course open to all Gatherers (you are the first to know!). I hope you are all as relieved as I am!
