That Primitive Feeling: Killing Joke
Phil Sutcliffe, Sounds, 9 August 1980
I MET KILLING Joke in one of the hellhole dressing-rooms at the Music Machine. I introduced myself to various people who weren't in the band until a swarthy guy overheard me, sprang up from his seat in the corner and came to me snarling "You're from Sounds? I want to talk to you!"
