| Event Name: | Killing Joke |
| Description: | Formed in London, England, in October 1978, Killing Joke was the brainchild of classically-trained musician & vocalist Jeremy ‘Jaz’ Coleman and drummer ‘Big’ Paul Ferguson, who eagerly recruited two like-minded comrades in the form of guitarist Kevin ‘Geordie’ Walker and bassist Martin ‘Youth’ Glover and set about establishing a brand new and highly idiosyncratic manifesto for reinventing the rock ‘n’ roll wheel. Instantly endorsed by legendary Radio One DJ John Peel, who gave the band plenty of airplay before they had even recorded an album, Killing Joke embarked on an intense evolutionary journey that would result in some of the most startling and original rock albums of the 1980s.
Now back together, with a hefty back catalogue of albums, their latest Absolute Dissent is a raging cauldron of rhythmic intensity and melodic power, it sounds both utterly timely and yet eerily ageless, as if Killing Joke are channelling past, present and future through the flames of their revitalised artistic chemistry. Crushingly heavy yet at times undeniably beautiful, this is rock music that aims beyond the norm and into territory yet undiscovered. |
