Laibach & Juno Reactor – Double Headline European Tour
Laibach and Juno Reactor first met in 1994 at the legendary 429 Harrow Road, London, where the Mute Records label was based until very recently. Juno Reactor, then recording for Nova Mute, accepted the invitation by Laibach to remix a version of Final Countdownfor their single.
Two years later, Laibach included on their album Jesus Christ Superstars their own remake of Juno Reactor’s track God is God, the original version of which appeared on the JR Bible of Dreams album in 1997. The paths of both groups have intersected briefly at several occasions,and a while ago Laibach invited Ben Watkins, the driving force behind Juno Reactor, first to participate as a producer in the studio version of their 2009 ‘electro – symphonic – experimental jazz ’ project Volkswagner and then as a collaborator to the ambitious film project Iron Sky being developed by the creators of the Star Wreck film [the most popular internet film project of all times] who have selected Laibach as the music score for the new film.
Soon the idea of doing a joint European tour was born. Premiere concert happened on September 18th in Slovenian capital Ljubljana at the occasion of the opening of the new Ljubljana cultural venue – Kino Siska. The rest of the tour will start on December 5th and will take both groups through the Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Belgium and UK.
Second part of the tour is scheduled for March 2010.
