I didn’t make the Skinny Puppy gig last week, electing to spend some quality time with Mrs D. instead. It seems there’s a bit of a revival at the moment as I’ve just found out that veteran industrialists KMFDM (”Kein Mitleid F?r Die Mehrheit” - No Pity for the Majority) are touring this summer.

They’re playing in London on Thursday July 8th which is the night I’m doing a race in Battersea Park. Mind you, what an excuse to get hot and sweaty twice in one evening. Oo-er! They’re then playing in Glasgow (G2) on the 9th, Nottingham Rock City on the 10th and the Hob and Grapes in Manchester on the 11th. (They’re then going to be playing in Geneva on the 14th - wonder if I can get work to send me out there again?)

Their latest album, WWIII, appears to be a bit of a political statement and tirade against the current US goverment what with track titles such as “Jihad”, “Stars & Stripes”, “Bullets, Bombs & Bigotry” and “Moron” (wonder who that’s about). I’m in the process of downloading from the now legal Napster, so I’ll let you know what it’s like. Coz I know you want to know!
