I love Laibach - I saw them supporting Michael Clark a few years back in Brighton and to say they were 'immense' would be understatement...
That must have been a fair few years ago (Lucy will be calling you old soon!): the last few years they've only been playing one-off London gigs. They certainly look immense from all the footage I've seen. Wasn't so sure about the last album though. I wonder what their response will be to the potential new catastrophe in the Balkans will be?
All the videos are unavailable, they can't all have been removed, can they?
That's peculiar... I've just checked and they're all still coming up on my system. However the originals are to be found here and here. Hope that helps!:)
I was about eighteen at the time, Jon (I'm still an old git tho'!)
The only problem with getting to see Laibach was having to sit through a Michael Clark ballet - that said, Leigh Bowery was there dressed as a teapot, so it wasn't a complete disaster.
