Robert Fripp showcases the revitalised King Crimson, complete with a brand new, three-drummer lineup, at their first show in Albany, New York, on September 9. In this feature from Uncut’s July 2012 issue (Take 182), Rob Young asks Fripp and many of his former bandmates how they gave birth to a bright and extravagant series of albums and – inadvertently – to a whole new genre: prog rock. Surprising, desperate – and shocking...
Even Jimi Hendrix was taken aback!
Welcome to the new issue of Uncut! John’s on holiday this week – he was last seen disappearing into darkest Gloucestershire – so it falls to me to show you around this month's edition instead.
King Crimson have released images and a video clip taken from rehearsals for their forthcoming live dates.
Nine photographs have appeared this morning [July 10] on Robert Fripp's DGMLive site. You can see them here.
King Crimson have announced they will play a series of live shows later this year.
According to Rolling Stone, they will play New York's Best Buy Theater on September 18, 19 and 20. Tickets will go on sale Friday, June 6, at noon EST.
