KMFDM update for those of you not getting the Wax Trax e-updates:
"EN ESCH, GUENTER SCHULZ and RAYMOND WATTS–
will have a special guest on Friday and Sunday.
Singer MONA MUR from Berlin, longtime collaborator and friend, is going to do vocals and keys on stage with them. KMFDM opened for MONA MUR and her band in 1985 at a legendary Hamburg concert. Raymond Watts was Mona Mur’s and Einstürzende Neubauten’s sound engineer at the time. Mona also contributed to KMFDM’s album “WWIII” in 2003.
Since 2008 MONA MUR and EN ESCH are working on stage and in the studio together. Their first album “120 Tage - The Fine Art of Beauty and Violence” was licensed in 2010 by Artoffact Records Canada. Shortly after the WAX TRAX! RETROSPECTACLE on Thursday April 21st MONA MUR & EN ESCH play their first full length concert in the US at Europa Club, Brooklyn, NY."

I think we already knew about Mona Mur providing female vox. And she contributed to WWIII? Would she be the girl moaning at the end of Pity For The Pious?

Yes, I am +1 as well!
Add me to the list. I’ll be attending the fix doc premiere and the 2 day retrospectacle, but not the third day. Are there official meet ups planned?

Should we start another thread that deals specifically with peoples’ plans?
Otherwise do it here as we have a run down of who’s going.
Am I right in thinking FIX premiere is on the Thursday night? Then there’s Fri, Sat & Sun for the music.
Would it be best to have a meet up on Thursday for the Fix people and on Friday for the Retrospectacle and then decide for the next two days after? Carmangary is arriving on the Saturday so one of us can contact him to let him know the score.
I’ll be arriving in the Windy Apple around noon on the Friday. Will drop my shit at the hostel then am good to go. Will be fucking off around noon on the Sunday.
Locals suggest good drinking spots/meet up places for the area
Mick,
Yes, FIX is Thursday at 7:30 pm. (Tickets are ~$18.)
If we want to go to FIX as a group, I’d like to suggest we meet somewhere else first and then go to the theater.
Most of the places I have been are in River North, State and Washington area, Lincoln Park, Depaul (Lincoln), and Wicker Park (Milwaukee). Thus, I’m up for adventure.

“All the rock world’s a stage”

I’ve got to admit that I’m surprised Fix is getting a screening at an actual theatre?
