These bands and more can all thank Killing Joke for setting the scene and despite first emerging thirty years ago they are still ready to take to the stage once again. As a result, purchasing Killing Joke tickets is a must as it gives you an opportunity to witness one of the most influential artists of the last three decades.
Killing Joke first formed in 1979, released a range of successful albums and then, after a short break, eventually reformed in 2003 and began to add to their extensive back catalogue. Consisting of Jaz Coleman, Kevin Walker, Martin Glover and Paul Ferguson they have shown other rock stars how it is done with their unique blend of industrial metal, alternative rock, electronic sounds, gothic rock and more. The group has seen many incarnations over the years, with only Coleman and Walker remaining during the entire run, but that does not mean the music has suffered.
Their first album took the form of 1980s self-titled release “Killing Joke”, which was the culmination of work that had begun in 1979 when Jaz Coleman teamed up with Paul Ferguson, Kevin Walker and Martin Glover. They also released an EP in the form of “Turn to Red” and throughout the decades their discography has consisted of “What’s THIS for...!” (1981), “Revelations” (1982), “Fire Dances” (1983), “Night Time” (1985), “Brighter than a Thousand Suns” (1986), “Outside the Gate” (1988), “The Courtauld Talks” (1989), “Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions” (1990), “Pandemonium” (1994), “Democracy” (1996), “Killing Joke” (2003) and “Hosannas from the Basements of Hell” (2006).
2010 sees them return with “Feast of Fools”, which is certain to maintain their long lasting popularity. After years of touring and appearing on huge stages, it will be a worthwhile treat for fans who have been waiting for the next addition to their extensive back catalogue.
Seeing Killing Joke live is a must, so make sure you get your tickets as soon as possible!
