I love Front 242. They are the band that got me into industrial/ebm, they were the glorious gateway drug. In fact, I was into industrial music before I even dove into the goth side of the musical spectrum. I used to stay up on Sunday nights tuning into a Canadian radio station, 102.1 CFNY listening to whatever Martian Streek (R.I.P) would broadcast. I was already into electronic music (techno/house/breaks) and knew bands like Depeche Mode, The Cure and INXS, but hearing Front 242 was like a religious experience!

Unfortunately I missed Front 242 when they came to Buffalo in the early 00's and it was terribly upsetting! I hope someday to hear them live, so I can have a moment and cry all my makeup off. Hahahaa!

ooooh yeah. there is a special place in my heart for old school industrial that will never go away
ReplyDeleteI love this band too!
ReplyDeleteI still love the clip for Headhunter. Pity they edited it. If you want the same glasses as they wear Julbo remade them a few years ago. I think they were called Vermonts. INXS I told the singer his band could play support for my band one day. They got famous, I got old.

DeleteI know your pain, I missed Sisters of Mercy a few years ago. although apparently they only did 2 concerts in Australia or something like that.
ReplyDeleteLove the sunnies on you!
"Headhunter" is one of my all-time dance floor favorites. I love that whole sub genre and Wax Trax was one of my go-to labels.
ReplyDeleteI saw them live a couple years ago at a music festival in Germany. I considered it to be quite a privilege as as they were not a band I thought I would ever get to see!
