Killing Joke Reunites For Album, Tour
The original members of Killing Joke have reunited for a new album and a fall world tour.
Drummer Paul Ferguson rejoins the lineup for the first time since 1987 and bassist Martin "Youth" Glover steps back into the live arena after a nearly 15-year hiatus, having not played live with Killing Joke since 1994's Pandemonium tour. Killing Joke is rounded out by vocalist Jaz Coleman and guitarist Kevin "Geordie" Walker.
The 17-date tour includes three US dates--Oct. 9 at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA, and Oct. 11-12 at New York City's Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza. The tour will see Killing Joke take up a two-night residency in most venues, offering a different set on each evening. On the first night, they will play their first two albums in their entirety, 1980's self-titled album followed by 1981's "What's This…For!" Their second performance in each city will feature 1994's "Pandemonium" and the Island Records singles of '79 to '80.
No release date has been set for the new album.
