KMFDM US Tour

[Cheiron]

Because I -know- there is at least one other fan of them on these boards <waves to Linda>. This was the band I listened to non-stop in High School... and blasted from my parents mini-van while driving past the grunge kids who were smoking on the corner, just outside of school boundaries. Yeah... I love their old stuff. Hated when their awesome female vocalist died from an overdose... haven't listened to much of their new. But I'm pretty sure I'll be going to the show at the Masquerade.

[BlindPanzer]

I'm a fan but I don't think I'll make it to orlando for this.

 

[BenMech]

Hated when their awesome female vocalist died from an overdose...

Which one died?

That sucks. I have a fondness for XTORT

 

[Cheiron]

I don't remember. Tried to find out... couldn't find it.

 

[Sumeet]

Interesting. I listened to these guys quite a bit in high school... not because I was that big a fan myself, but because there was one guy in the group of friends I hung out with who always drove... he was a year older, and actually had his own car... so he picked the music.

 

[BlackenedDawn]

We always talked about seeing KMDFM live, but always end up missing them. I'm sure this tour will come to town though, at least once. On a similar note, Pig played here at the old Thunderdome Tuesday night.

 

[Dragongrrrl]

KMFDM was the first band I saw when I moved to Milwaukee. Sucks that they have a date there but not here in the DC area! BlackenedDawn - they had Pig opening that show. What a kickass night that was!
*crosses fingers for a show date around here*

See what happens when you leave our cheese loving state?

J-Dubya - Zappa Plays Zappa tomorrow in Chicago! WHeeeeeeeeeeee!

Who the hell is KMFDM?

 

[Tanelorn]

KMFDM Sucks!

 

[Tanelorn]

I am, of course, refering to their song.

 

[Pellaz]

I'm almost tempted to see this show. Had to chuckle when I saw who the opener is.....glad to see our friend Andy from Combichrist getting some tour-dates.


BTW, Tanelorn, great nickname. I always get a sense of peace when seeing it. You might want to check out http://www.multiverse.org , which was just brought back online with new Forum software, chosen in part because of its use here at Ultimate Metal, after a 4-month hiatus.

Who the hell is KMFDM?

Check google or Wikipedia, instead of looking ignorant.


A German sound collective (too loosely disorganized to be called a group)

Their name is an acronym of a German mistranslation meaning No Rest For The Majority. A Longtime joke had it that it was also Kill Mother F-ing Depeche Mode.

Heavy treated Electronics and percussions along with processed vocals, self-deprecatring humour, multimedia presentations, etc.


Best known song = "Juke Joint Jezebel" (featured on the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack), "A Drug Against War" is another. 'Son of A Gun" is a Third. "Megalomaniac" was their last big hit.

They got trapped by notoriety because they were the Columbine High School killers's favorite band (no, they didn't like Marilyn Manson), immediately disbanding, reforming as splitoff groups MDFMK (read it backwards) for one cooldown period album before going back to the original name and Slick Idiot (En Esch's group).

 

[Mosquito]

KMFDM...better than the best..and harder than the rest.

 

[Burke]

KMFDM...better than the best..and harder than the rest.

Exactly....

Nice to see they are still around

 

[7thSaviour]

There's an outside chance I might catch the local gig. Good band!
