    KILLING JOKE Irish Dates 2003

    With a brand new self-titled album just released (featuring long-time fan, Foo Fighter Dave Grohl on drums), KILLING JOKE have just confirmed two Irish dates - the Temple Bar Music Centre on October 14th, and The Limelight, Belfast on October 15th!

    Tickets for the Temple Bar Music Centre date are €25 (inc. booking fee) and are on sale now from Soundcellar (Nassau St, D.2), the Music Centre Box Office (tel: 01 6709202) and Ticketmaster and usual outlets nationwide.

    The next single to be released from 'Killing Joke' is 'Seeing Red' - out September 26th through the Santuary label (now also home to Morrissey, Spirualized, and The Undertones).

    "Their first album in eight years sees the post-punk outfit reconvening for an acerbic mix of polotical dissidence and sonic brutality.. Like the old days, only better."
    - Rolling Stone

    “It's not about reclaiming our throne. Anyone who knows music knows who's who. We just know that the time is right for Killing Joke again. And we're ready." This time it came easy. We're lean and hungry again; we're all thinking in the same way. To me it feels like the first album again. It feels that fresh. The lyrics for this album just flowed out of me. Songs like 'Total Invasion' and 'Blood On Your Hands' are about the corruption you see going on in the world every time you switch on the TV. The world is on a knife edge right now, and you want to hear music that reflects that. Right now, the world needs Killing Joke more than ever."
    - Front-man, Jaz Coleman

    "Though Nirvana may never reunite in this life, serial-quester Dave Grohl can at least give new life to some other old punks. There's justice too, in that Kurt Cobain nicked the Joke's 'Eighties' riff wholesale for 'Come As You Are'. Killing Joke were always one of post punk's more abrasive combos, and Grohl has joined the three original members (Jaz Coleman, Geordie, Youth) for a frighteningly forceful return to form. Killing Joke's trademark mix of steamroller rhythms, molten guitars, apocalyptic imagery and Coleman's gutteral roar- which makes Joke-lover James Hetfield sound like Charlotte Church - couldn't be more perfectly suited to these post-metal, post-punk times. The track titles - 'Total Invasion', 'Blood on Your Hands' and 'Dark Forces' - prove the man hasn't lost one whit of his righteous fury. History, it seems, might finally get the Joke" - X-Ray Mag.

    "one of the most influential rock bands of the past 20 years..." - Kerrang!
