Many bands in the genre have risen, fallen and ceased to exist. Fortunately, KMFDM is not one of them.<\/p>\n<p>KMFDM is still here and is making music more powerful than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Sascha Konietzko and the members of his band KMFDM are the forefathers of industrial rock \u2013 the progenitors of a whole breed of rockers who view noise as a valid foundation for songs.<\/p>\n<p>KMFDM has been around longer than a lot of musicians in today\u2019s bands have been alive. But Konietzko and his crew never grow old.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t rest on their laurels \u2014 content to tour playing songs from 20 or 30 years ago. KMFDM is still making music that is vital, vibrant and vicious. This year, KMFDM celebrated its 38th anniversary. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On September 9, KMFDM released its latest album \u201cHy\u00ebna\u201d on Metropolis Records. \u00a0Now, the multi-national band (Germany\/England\/United States) is touring the states in support of its new LP.<\/p>\n<p>On October 14, KMFDM returns to Philadelphia for a show at Brooklyn Bowl (1009 Canal Street, Philadelphia, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brooklynbowl.com\/philadelphia\">www.brooklynbowl.com\/philadelphia<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started the tour on September 27 in Fort Lauderdale,\u201d said Konietzko, during a phone interview Wednesday afternoon from a tour stop in Boston. \u201cWe had two shows in Florida cancelled because of Hurricane Ian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did shows in the South and Midwest. We\u2019re in Boston now and we\u2019ll be in Philly on Friday. We finish in Atlanta on October 19. We\u2019ll be back later for a West Coast tour and then have a European tour in fall 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KMFDM\u2019s signature sound \u2014 a crossover between techno\/dance, heavy rock and industrial a.k.a \u201cUltra Heavy Beat\u201d \u2014 is combined with sometimes political, sometimes ironic lyrics and an underlying humorous edge.<\/p>\n<p>KMFDM actually began in Hamburg, Germany as \u201cKein Mehrheit Fur Die Mitleid\u201d (\u201cNo compassion for the majority\u201d) which eventually was shortened to the acronym KMFDM.<\/p>\n<p>The band still features the nucleus of Konietzko (vocals, guitar, bass, programming, keyboards, synthesizer, percussion), his wife Lucia Cifarelli (vocals, keyboards), Andee Blacksugar (guitar) and Andy Selway (drums).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recorded the new album all over the place,\u201d said Konietzko,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started in late fall-early summer 2020 and worked on it until this spring. We did take a long time because we also worked on other side projects \u2013 the \u2018In Dub\u2019 album and Lucia\u2019s solo album. We had \u2018Paradise\u2019 in 2019, \u2018In Dub\u2019 in 2020 and Lucia\u2019s album in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On July 2, 2021, Cifarelli released her sophomore solo album, \u201cI Am Eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith \u2018Hy\u00ebna,\u2019 the drums were done in Florida, the guitars in New York and the rest in Hamburg,\u201d said Konietzko. \u201cWe also did part in London and one song in Jamaica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While recording parts of songs separately in different locations was a model used by bands who were isolated during the pandemic, it was a way of recording that was old hat for KMFDM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last time we made an album together in a studio was in 1994,\u201d said Konietzko. \u201cWe did it for our \u2018Nihil\u2019 album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s most recent previous release was \u201cParadise,\u2019 which was released in September 2019 on Metropolis Records.<\/p>\n<p>KMFDM has released more than 20 studio albums, 15 of which feature the band\u2019s trademark one-word titles \u2014 \u201cOpium,\u201d \u201cUAIOE,\u201d \u201cNa\u00efve,\u201d Money,\u201d \u201cAngst,\u201d \u201cNihil,\u201d \u201cXtort,\u201d \u201cSymbols,\u201d \u201cAdios,\u201d \u201cAttak,\u201d \u201cWWIII,\u201d \u201cTohuvabohu,\u201d \u201cBlitz\u201d, \u201cWTF,\u201d \u201cKunst,\u201d \u201cParadise\u201d and now \u201cHy\u00ebna.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe never had a chance to tour in support of \u2018Paradise,\u2019\u201d said Konietzko, who also goes by the musical alias, K\u00e4pt\u2019n K.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur last tour was the \u2018Hell Yeah Tour\u2019 in 2017. We had two 2020 tours with Ministry that got pushed back to 2021 and then eventually cancelled. Now here we are five years later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pandemic postponed everything. It took its toll. We had no income from not touring for five years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe \u2018Hy\u00ebna\u2019 songs were all written during COVID. So, the pandemic did influence us in a positive way. The whole idea was to make a very varied album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The album spans many genres \u2013 the industrial rock of \u201cLiquor Fish &amp; Cigarettes,\u201d hip-hop influenced \u201cRock\u2019n\u2019Roll Monster,\u201d the blackgrass vibe of \u201cDeluded Desperate Dangerous &amp; Dumb,\u201d the hardcore punch of All Wrong \u2013 But Alright,\u201d the thrash metal slam of \u201cBlindface,\u201d the bad boy rock swagger of \u201cBlack Hole,\u201d the techno-dance feel of \u201cHy\u00ebna\u201d and the island vibe of \u201cIn Dub We Trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a trend for records that aren\u2019t super-long, and we went with that,\u201d said Konietzko. \u201cThe songs swirl around. It\u2019s like a sonic acid trip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn this tour,we\u2019re playing songs from all throughout our history, including some from \u2018Paradise.\u2019 We\u2019re also playing five or six songs from \u2018Hy\u00ebna\u2019 and several of our must-play songs like \u2018Hau Rock,\u2019 \u2018Son of a Gun\u2019 and \u2018Drug Against War.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe band has the same line-up as always \u2013 Lucia, Andy, Andee and me along with MC Ocelot (rapper Andrew \u201cOcelot\u201d Lindsley).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chant, the opening act on the tour is equally intense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChant is very tribal\u2026very dark,\u201d said Konietzko. \u201cThis is the third tour they\u2019ve opened for us. They also were on our North American tours in 2013 and 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Video link for KMFDM &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/bNqk41LR1PA\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/bNqk41LR1PA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The show at Brooklyn Bowl, which has Chant and Mighty Mike Saga as the opening acts, will start at 9 p.m. Tickets are $34.<\/p>\n<p>In this era of political divisiveness, climate problems, fear, hate mongering and despair, a musical that celebrates truth, love, hope, happiness is a welcome event.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16971\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16971\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16971\" src=\"https:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/annie-350x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16971\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Annie<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAnnie\u201d which is running now through October 16 at the Kimmel Cultural Campus\u2019 Miller Theater (Broad and Locust streets, Philadelphia, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kimmelculturalcampus.org\/\">www.kimmelculturalcampus.org<\/a>), is just such a musical.<\/p>\n<p>The structure of this show is different than many other shows. The main character has the arc and everyone around Annie transforms. It was the Great Depression. Everyone was suffering and here was this little girl with an indomitable spirit. The show is funny but it\u2019s also about truth and love.<\/p>\n<p>According to director Jenn Thompson, who at the age of 10 stepped into the role of \u201cPepper\u201d in the Original Broadway production, \u201cThis show, with its iconic title character, continues to delight generations of theatre-lovers old and new by joyfully singing directly into the face of great adversity with perseverance, guts and guile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor decades,\u00a0\u2018Annie\u2019\u00a0has continued to shine brightly, not only as an appeal to our better angels, but also as an example of the thrill of hope, hard-won: promising a better \u2018Tomorrow\u2019 not only for\u00a0Annie\u00a0herself, but for all who need her message now more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The National Tour of \u201cAnnie\u201d features a stellar cast. In the title role of\u00a0Annie\u00a0is Ellie Pulsipher, a 12-year-old actress from South Florida who is making her tour debut. Christopher Swan will star as Oliver Warbucks. In the role of Miss Hannigan is Stefanie Londino.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not your daddy\u2019s \u2018Annie\u2019,\u201d said Londino, during a phone interview last week from a tour stop in Syracuse, New York. \u201cWe\u2019ve got something new for you. The music is stunning with all new orchestrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI auditioned back in March, and they made the offer. They cast the children a little later. The whole cast was put together a week before rehearsals started. We\u2019re now in our third week of tech here in Syracuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a Jersey girl \u2013 born and raised. I was born in New Brunswick and raised in Elizabeth. From there, I went to college at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. They have a great Shakespeare program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI studied in their actor training program. I wanted the challenge. Then, the East Coast called me back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Londino has performed in \u200bBroadway national tours of \u201cA Bronx Tale\u201d (Rosina) and \u201cFiddler on the Roof\u201d (Shaindel). Her Off-Broadway credits include \u201cThe Mayor of Williamsburg,\u201d \u201cWhat Do Critics Know?,\u201d \u201cFlak House\u201d \u00a0and\u201cRed Wine in Paper Cups.\u201d She is also an original rock musician who has recorded several albums and opened for Bon Jovi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like playing the role of Miss Hannigan because she is a female powerhouse,\u201d said Londino. \u201cIt\u2019s such a delight to have a force in the play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s often portrayed as a cartoon. Jenn (director Jenn Thompson) looks at her as a real person. She is the dark side of the Annie coin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of structure, she\u2019s a villain \u2013 but she has to deal with the circumstances. The humor in her and the darkness play off each other. The darker she can be, the more hilarious she becomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pulsifer steals the show as Annie with poise beyond her years and a great comedic sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing toe-to-toe with Ellie Pulsifer is tough,\u201d said Londino. \u201cShe is absolutely incandescent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also starring in the tour are Julia Nicole Hunter as Grace, Nick Bernardi as Rooster, Krista Curry as Lily, Mark Woodard as FDR and Bronte Harrison as Molly.<\/p>\n<p>The cast also has a bit of adoption reality.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison, who sparkles as one of the orphans, was adopted from an orphanage in China as a toddler. Addison, a stray mutt rescued by Tony Award\u00ae Honoree William Berloni\u00a0(Annie,\u00a0A Christmas Story,\u00a0Legally Blonde)\u00a0through the Humane Society in 2017, stars as Sandy.<\/p>\n<p>The original production of\u00a0Annie\u00a0had its world premiere on Aug 10, 1976, at the Goodspeed Opera House in Haddam, Connecticut, and opened on Broadway on April 21, 1977, at the Alvin Theatre (Neil Simon Theatre).\u00a0 The production, featured Andrea McArdle as Annie, went on to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, seven Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical, the Grammy for Best Cast Show Album, and seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book (Thomas Meehan) and Best Score (Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin).\u00a0It closed on Broadway after playing 2,377 performances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnnie\u201d was revived on Broadway in 1997 and again in 2014. It has been made into a film three times (1982, 1999, 2014) and was most recently featured as a live television production on NBC. The show remains one of the biggest Broadway musical hits ever. It has been performed in 28 languages and has been running somewhere around the world for 45 years.<\/p>\n<p>The beloved score for \u201cAnnie\u201d includes \u201cMaybe,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s the Hard Knock Life,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile,\u201d \u201cEasy Street,\u201d \u201cI Don\u2019t Need Anything But You,\u201d and the eternal anthem of optimism, \u201cTomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The show has gone on numerous national tours and featured notable cast members such as child star Amanda Balon as Annie and television\/movie\/stage\/rock band veteran Mackenzie Phillips as Lily St. Regis.<\/p>\n<p>Video link for \u201cAnnie\u201d &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/j93KJmxtVpg\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/j93KJmxtVpg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The show at the Miller Theater will run through October 16 \u2013 Thursday and Friday, 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, 2 and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 and 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Ticket prices start at $40.<\/p>\n<p>Two other attractive theater productions are running right now \u2013 \u201cMushroom\u201d\u00a0 and \u201cMemphis.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16972\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16972\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16972\" src=\"https:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mushroom-1-350x257.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"257\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mushroom<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cMushroom,\u201d which is set in Kennett Square, is running now through October 16 at People\u2019s Light (39 Conestoga Road, Malvern, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peopleslight.org\/\">www.peopleslight.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In Kennett Square, \u201cThe Mushroom Capital of the World,\u201d intersecting lives of immigrant families collide when a workplace injury, an unexpected romance, and the\u00a0looming presence of immigration authorities\u00a0have far-reaching ramifications for the entire community.<\/p>\n<p>Kennett Square is known as the Mushroom Capital of the World because mushroom farming in the region produces over<\/p>\n<p>500 million pounds of mushrooms a year, totaling half of the United States mushroom crop.<\/p>\n<p>Hispanic races make up almost 30 per cent of the borough\u2019s population.

In the 1950s, disc jockeys on AM radio determined what songs would be hits (often through the help of payola\u2026but that\u2019s another story). And AM radio was definitely segregated.<\/p>\n<p>The musical \u201cMemphis\u201d is set in that era. The show, which won four Tony Awards (including 2010\u2019s Best Musical), is loosely based on the story of\u00a0Dewey Phillips, a Memphis disc jockey who was one of the first white DJs to play black music on AM radio back in the mid-1950s.<\/p>\n<p>In the show, Huey Calhoun is the deejay who breaks the color line by playing back songs on a white radio station. The kids love the music and the advertisers like the increased business. But there is also a major backlash from the racist element which was so prevalent in the South 50-60 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMemphis\u201d is also a great history lesson. It\u2019s set in the 1950s on Beale Street in Memphis. It shows the difficulty of trying to be in an inter-racial relationship during that era &#8212; an era when African American men in the South were lynched for showing interest in white women.<\/p>\n<p>The production at the Candlelight Dinner Theatre is directed and choreographed by Devon Sinclair with Hallie Berger as co-choreographer. The vocal director is Garrick Vaughan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMemphis\u201d is running now October 30 at the Candlelight Dinner Theatre.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets, which include dinner and parking, are $65.50 for adults and $33 for children (ages 4-12).<\/p>\n<p>Jamey\u2019s House of Music (32 South Lansdowne Avenue, Lansdowne, 215-477-9985,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jameyshouseofmusic.com\/\">www.jameyshouseofmusic.com<\/a>) always presents great folk, jazz and blues music every Thursday through Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cThursday Night Jazz Jam\u201d and the \u201cSunday Blues Brunch &amp; Jam\u201d are regular features on Jamey\u2019s calendar while Friday and Saturday night shows feature national and regional acts.<\/p>\n<p>The headline shows on the weekend nights always draw appreciative crowds.

Touring throughout the U.S, Canada, and Europe he supported acts such as Sonny Rhodes, Georgie Bonds and The Blueskeepers, Socco, and Lonnie Shields. The next decade kept him even busier, as he was in high demand on bass duty with Big Jack Johnson, Richard Ray Farrell, and Roger Girke.<\/p>\n<p>In more recent years, Pritchard rocked the International Blues Challenge as a bassist backing long-time friend and harp extraordinaire Mikey Junior- first in 2011 when they reached the semi-finals and then again in 2012 as finalists. 2014 brought the Jimmy Pritchard Band to Memphis where they became IBC semi-finalists representing the Jersey Shore Jazz &amp; Blues Foundation, proving that Memphis, and the spotlight, is where Jimmy shines!<\/p>\n<p>Since then, he enjoyed three years of the good life in Florida, while dazzling audiences around the country as bassman next to Albert Castiglia.
