KILLING JOKE - KILLING JOKE'S ORIGINAL LINE-UP REFORMS

The original KILLING JOKE line-up has reunited for the first time in more than 20 years. Drummer Paul Ferguson and bassist Martin 'Youth' Glover, who last played with the British band in 1987 and 1994 respectively, have rejoined Killing Joke to record a new album, followed by a world tour. The group plans to play two nights in each city when they hit the road in September (08) - the first night they'll play their eponymous 1980 debut followed by its 1981 follow-up What's THIS... For!, while the second night will see the band run through 1994's Pandemonium and their 1979 and 1980 singles. Frontman Jaz Coleman says, "(We) are thrilled as we hope you are with the line-up... We always knew this day would come after all it was inevitable. "We hope all gatherers will join us in warmly welcoming back to active service our brothers Big Paul and Youth. The mysterious chemistry of the original line-up is back, let there be gladness in your hearts."
