Update from the Killing Joke camp

I like Rapture, I find it to be better than anything on Absolute Dissent…

Hosannas is still superior though.

Yeah, apparently they weren’t aware that it was still being advertised and sold;

"Dublin: People of Ireland Killing Joke wish it to be known that The upcoming show was only ever very briefly confirmed and then unconfirmed several months ago. The reason why it seems to have remained on sale when it was very clearly cancelled within the first few days of being booked are as much of a mystery to us as I’m sure it is to you lot. We are genuinely sorry not to be coming to Ireland on this tour but that will be rectified and we will come back very soon.

The people responsible for the continued sale of tickets will be beaten, sliced and thrown to dogs.

We are told (or was 5 months ago) that full and total refunds will be given.

WE WILL BE BACK "

I’d read on the metalireland forum that someone asked Youth about playing Dublin and hadn’t a clue what they were talking about. I managed to see them 2 nights in a row a coupla years ago in London so i’m not overly bothered, but i would have liked to see them again. My friends are well pissed off though.

I got an email to say my credit card is being refunded the cost of the ticket but I haven’t seen it yet so can’t confirm. Ticketmaster can be a fair shower of cunts at the best of times

Mine was refunded yesterday and showed in my account today, i hate the bastards but the two or three times i’ve had shows cancelled they’ve been prettyy swift to refund me, thankfully. Well, i live in hope that KJ will make it back here, and play Belfast next time maybe. They haven’t played here since their tour for the 2003 album, and i didn’t see that show. Also, i do really like that new song, it sounds like it could have been off Pandemonium.

“a fair shower of cunts”

Thank you for this pearl of a phrase. I shall use it every chance I get.
