Laibach article in the LA Weekly

It is relatively good for a synthesis, which is seldom enough to be noticed.

  Go for it.

  Attention, evil Americans! Laibach is now touring your country: check their site for dates&places.

Has it been three years already?!  

Orkus writes:

Drei Jahre war es still um die Anecker von LAIBACH, aber im Oktober wird das Schweigen jetzt gebrochen. Dann nämlich kehren die Slowenen mit ihrem brandneuen Album Volk zurück, welches sie einmal mehr ins Kreuzfeuer der Kritik bringen dürfte: LAIBACH lassen darauf einen bunten Strauß verschiedenster Nationalhymnen erklingen, die sich jedoch auch mit der aktuellen politischen Situation des jeweiligen Landes befassen sollen. Zudem findet bereits am kommenden Wochenende im britischen Birmingham eine Ausstellung mit dem Thema "Return Of The Repressive" statt, die unter anderem zahlreiche LAIBACH-Videos im Programm hat.

A document of Laibach's 15 date 2004 US Tour, "Divided States Of America", is set for release through Mute on November 13th. With a running time of 70 minutes it offers an insight into what the label describes as "the pyche of deeply polarised culture with documentary style footage sitting alongside Laibach's intense live performances". Additionally this DVD set comes with 60 minutes bonus footage of Laibach live in Paris in 2005 during their WAT Tour.

Shadow forum member klav who's recently been to a glorious Laibach concert, sent me this link to their video for "Anglia". Great stuff.
