If you're going to Boston Con and like old postpunk...

Killing Joke, one of my all-time favorite bands, is playing at the Paradise in Boston on 3/20. Just thought I'd put that out there since some boardies will be in town at that time. Very heavy sound, been around since 1978 but last few albums have been among their best. Very influential band, absolutely devastating live show.

I've seen a ton of shows at The Paradise. Nice small, intimate venue for a show.

Love the 'dise. I had tickets for U2's first-ever American performance there, broke up with a girl and let her keep the tickets. Big mistake!

"Absolute Dissent" is as good as any album they've ever done, and MMXII is also stellar.

Really? I don't see it. But chances are I have it anyway.

I'm a sucker for their synth period, "Sanity," Love Like Blood," et al

[Brian48]

Looks like I'll be missing this con (again) this year. Won't be back from my vacation until Monday. Who's the guests this year? Is there a site somewhere?

[Brian48]

Ah. NM. Found it.

That's all well and good, but The Wait is their finest moment.

Saw them rather a long time ago...longer than I care to admit. Still play their stuff.

I should point out that there are two clubs called Paradise in the area, one just over the line in Cambridge. If you want Killing Joke you want the Paradise Rock Club on Commonwealth Ave. The other place is, shall we say, a different kind of club.
