Watch Killing Joke - Requim - 2003 - Belgium

Formed in late 1978, Killing Joke's sessions for John Peel's highly-influential BBC Radio shows were ecstatically received and by the end of 1979 they had signed with Island Records, who allowed them to set up their own label. The group began playing shows regularly throughout England and gained a reputation for being controversial. Their artwork often featured repulsive or inflammatory images. Despite the controversy, the group began amassing a following of both punk and disco fans with hard-edged but danceable singles like 'Psyche' and 'Follow the Leader'. During the Eighties Killing Joke continued to release albums, all of which failed to regain the audience they had in the early '80s. After 1988's 'Outside The Gate' the group broke up, only to reunite two years later. In 1994, after a further break of four years, Killing Joke once again re-formed, this time as a trio. Killing Joke are on brilliant form in this concert performance they gave at The Lokerse Festival in the Summer of 2003 at which they featured their most popular numbers from over the years, including 'Requiem', 'The Wait' and 'Wardance'.

Killing Joke - Requim - 2003 - Belgium is a musical with a runtime of 1 hour and 11 minutes.
