USSA Tour Cut Short
Posted on December 12 2007 by Afra ( 449 )
Unfortunately USSA will not be completing their N. American tour:
Unfortunately, we're headed home early. Duane was injured at one of the shows, and after two grueling weeks of pain ended up being sent home by a doctor for repairs (some minor but necessary surgery). We'll be back out on the road as soon as possible.
Happy Holidays everyone.
We wish Duane a speedy recovery.

Paul Barker's Flowering Blight
Posted on November 12 2007 by Afra ( 446 )
From Paul Barker:
"Hello everyone. I have some music I am going to release under the project name of FLOWERING BLIGHT. This is music I have worked on recently, recording most of the music and vocals. I'll give full credits song-by-song as they are finished.
The first song I am releasing is entitled "The Perfect Pair". It's a monster in three parts. Here is a 35 second clip of "The Perfect Pair, pt2". You can download this snippet on the sound page.
I am also playing in a band called USSA, formed by Duane Denison and me last year. The USSA cd, "The Spoils", is available now and we are currently on the road through the states this fall. You can see more about the band at the USSA homepage (and also Myspace, as well here on prongs).
Thanks to you and prongs--

New Song Download
Posted on November 01 2007 by Bisquitodoom ( 443 )
Yeah, I know it's been a long time, but the song of the week has offically been changed. Since the version of Time To Melt proved to be too large to leave up as a download for very long, I decided to go for another treat from the same show. On the sound page, you'll find a live version of Hellfudge from the infamous New Year's Eve 1989 show. This song made very few live appearances, and is made more unique by Jello's anti-80's ranting.
We also brought back an older download, in case you missed it way-back-when. This time, the wonderfully reworked version of All Day from the 1987 mini-tour is making it's reappearace. Check it out if you missed it the first time.

Paul Raven, best known for his work with Killing Joke, has sadly passed away. He was most recently the bassist for Ministry.
Another one of Raven's projects, Mob Research, has put the following on their Myspace Page:
"Mob Research founder and bassist Paul Raven passed away today Saturday 20th October 2007, apparently from a heart attack. He had just arrived in Europe to commence recording with his friends Treponem Pal."
Killing Joke fans have been posting tributes on the Killing Joke Myspace page.
Blabbermouth has a detailed news entry regarding this.
Our condolences to his family and friends regarding this unfortunate news.
