Full transcription from the Brainwashed video interview “The Eye” I’m open to people’s interpretations, I mean it’s like for instance the name Death in June, they’ve been so many different interpretations, but I still think the most interesting, one which is one of the more recent in the past few years was that I was derived from the assassination of the Archduke Prince Ferdinand Sarajevo in June 1914, I’d never thought about that but of course it does have a relevance here. We live in a world shaped by what…

Transcription from the DVD : Once you’ve truly looked into the abyss. You get a fit of the giggles. Our family was a very unhappy dysfunctional family. I have to state that, you know, life didn’t change just where my father died. It changed as soon as I was born, that was, it was always going to be odd. They, my mum and dad pretty much hated each other and let the family know about it in an uncertain manner. So that kind of thing is, is always in progress….

First release date : 1984 Personnel : Douglas Pearce, Tony Wakeford, Patrick Leagas Release notes : Side A is studio material, including a reworked version of “All Alone In Her Nirvana”. Side B is the complete gig recorded live at the Clarendon Hotel, London, October 6th, 1983. The gig is usually wrongly dated as “December 17th, 1983”, but Douglas P. said it was probably recorded on the October night at the Clarendon Hotel. A complete and different audience recording of the December 17th, 1983 gig might confirm that statement. This…

Digitally remastered with completely reinvented artwork, embossed digipak, previously unseen photos plus a new extended end to ‘Heaven Street’. Welcome to the…

Richard Hawley I’ve been appreciating Richard Hawley’s solo work since Nigel at the Rough Trade Shop suggested I should listen to his recordings a few years ago. His other albums ‘Richard Hawley’ and ‘Late Night Final’ are also very good. If you can hunt down my fellow Adelaidian Luke Ashby’s work he is also in a similar vein but probably better! The most played CD of the New Year so far is ‘Profile’ by Githead which I got as a present. Colin Newman makes this sound like a great Wire…

“The March Of Man’s True Destiny” Douglas Pearce interviewed by Brian Clark via email, 2006 One thing that most recording artists today are all but universally terrified of, is the accusation of being a “Nazi” or of having fascist sympathies or anything resembling latent “racism.” For the last several decades, the entertainment industry has been afflicted with a sort of puritanical political correctness which insures that anyone involved in that industry who strays from the accepted norms (one of them being anti-fascism and anti-racism), quickly finds themselves out-of-the loop in…

Exclusive Interview with Douglas P. – Death in June, June 2006 Due to the current situation concerning the German censorship of “Rose clouds of Holocaust” we are nearly forced to ask you about the progresses in this matter. Were you able to achieve an appeal trial?How did your fans react after the adjudication, what about showing support and solidarity with DIJ? At the moment we are still waiting to hear a reaction to our legal appeal from the other side in the matter. They haven’t responded in the time frame…

1.) DEATH IN JUNE have ever since been a topic for numerous discussions about how far art can go in its imagery. With putting “Rose clouds of holocaust” on the German index of publications dangerous to younger people end of last year it has become a legal matter for the first time. When did you hear about these things first? Did you have an idea what it can mean being put on this index? I was first told in about August, 2005 that after an official complaint had been filed…

You are releasing through your website many old stuff (like “Burial”) and and also DVDs. A few words about it? It’s said that these recordings will NOT be available via any shop or music distributer for purchase. Whynot? You’re confused. Only the ‘Free Tibet’ release is not available via any shop or record distributer. It’s purely for Free download off of the internet from the main DIJ website. All other releases should be available from shops/mail order companies/internet sites and music distributers that normally stock Death In June. The back…

in all these years since you began with DIJ, the years of provocating, the playing with the fire – which has been the hardest experiences and which the finest? Without doubt the hardest time was when Patrick Leagas decided to leave the group in April,1985 after the release of “NADA!” and after many successful shows throughout Europe and with more lined up. I had to think very quickly on my feet as to where Death In June would go from there – if anywhere! And, equally without doubt, despite some…

Never has one artist been so afflicted by the downfall of record labels and distributors. Since leaving Death In June in the period following NADA! Patrick Leagas’s work as Six Comm and Mother Destruction has been beset by the fall of Red Rhino and Rough Trade, resulting in his vast back catalog remaining out of print and only sporadic releases maintaining any sense of continued presence on the music scene. After a lengthy hiatus Patrick Leagas has returned to the fold with his first new works in years: a double…

HH: Greetings Tony. How are you? This November introduces a new Solo release. What can we expect from this album? TW : “Into The Woods” is nearing completion. Its not a concept album but it does in a very superficial way pay homage to some of the music I listened to in my youth. I speak of the music that dare not speak it’s name….. PROG! For me its a very English album reflecting my childhood and youth. Its a strange England populated by out of work hangmen, dubious priests and…
