Friday 1980's Dance Party
If you don't like the band Killing Joke, then skip past this one.

Factory Toys - In The Nation (1986 LP)
*they were based in Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands

The above group started as a band playing industrial music. The Factory's Martin Hannett opened this door. I like it, the band is trying to be a bit different for that time:

Factory Toys – 2nd Demo Cassette, 1982

Note: If you love Joy Division, then play the above one.
Some tracks are homages to Joy Div.

Bixie —

I wanted you to go see Ministry at Lolla ‘92 but once again, you weren’t there…

@InUnfunky @Bix
I went in 92 and the line up was a little different but no less than amazing. I wish I remembered it a little more clearly.

@Idissent @Bix

Were you at Lolla ‘92 in Orlando?

Cuz I was too.

Whole thing was a bit foreboding as Hurricane Andrew was starting to hit the Miami area (where Lolla had been the night before) and the clouds were racing through the Central FL sky above the stage…

@InUnfunky @Bix
Yes, I was and I do remember that! I also saw them at a club in Orlando but I can't remember the name. They had a sister club in Ft Lauderdale where I saw Alice in chains

I remember the place from ads — never went there unfortunately.

@InUnfunky @Bix
I don't remember much about them but I was 26 and drinking heavily. It was great though. Screaming Trees opened for Alice in chains

@Idissent @Bix

If it was ‘92 that was the same club tour I saw in St. Pete. AIC w/Screaming Trees and Grunttruck. Layne Staley was on crutches from a ATV accident I think…🤔

@InUnfunky @Bix
This is the one because I know Gruntruck was there as well but I don't remember the crutches so it's possible he had the accident in Florida
