Killing Joke

Following 2010 triumphant reunion the original founding members of Killing Joke - Jaz Coleman, Youth, Geordie Walker and Paul Ferguson - perform as part of Ether 2011 playing material from their seminal back-catalogue as well as songs from their eagerly awaited new album.

A major influence on bands such as Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins and Metallica, Killing Joke's mix of post punk and metal has seen them hailed as sonic iconoclasts who railed against the establishment and restlessly pursued their own vision.

Their eponymous comeback album, released in 2003 after a seven-year break, was produced by Gang of Four's Andy Gill and featured Dave Grohl on drums. Considered one of their finest, it saw them reclaim their status as one of the most essential UK bands of the last 30 years.
