("Have Fun" seems somehow not quite right for DIJ)

I would love to check them out -- my only exposure to them has been Brown Book. Is there anything else by them that anyone can recomend?

IS THIS THE SAME DEATH IN JUNE THAT ARE AN ENGLISH NAZI BAND ?

They are funny.

They're not a Nazi band. They can't be coz my mate likes them and half of his family was killed by the Nazis.

i had a mate who in the 80s became lost to us and fell in with the NF/YNF and a splinter "gang" they called the White Defence Force
he started in all kinds of right wing rubbish including bands who went for that kind of crap one of his favs was a band called DEATH IN JUNE he would go to the concerts and aftershow parties with all other kinds of right wing twats including Gary Bushell and the Cockney Rejects
i don't mean to be unsensitive but were his family killed by nazis or germans ? there is a big difference

From now on, bands need to submit their names to some sort of board of approval.

Death In June?
Ughhhh.
Death Before Dying On A Twisted River That's Bleeding

German Nazis. And I should know the difference between Nazis and Germans when I'm part German but definately not Nazi.

"Despite their disillusionment with leftism and popular fronts, when Pearce and Wakeford formed a new band called Death In June (DIJ) their first gig was a benefit for Workers Against Racism (a cat's paw of the Revolutionary Communist Party) at Central London Polytechnic towards the end of 1981"

your mate was extremely thick if he saw DIJ!!!

edited to add that the quote is off www.lgu.ac.uk, my university website (my uni was formerly the Central london polytechnic) .

I actually don't understand why you assume that Death in June are Nazi just coz your friend was right wing. Do you have to see bands that share political views with you?

DIJ often tours with white supremacist groups, of which there are a large number in the "apocalyptic folk" scene. they almost did a show in here in chicago, which was cancelled. before i got uncomfortable listening to their music, i owned everything they put out, and i never heard a single directly racist lyric. someone told me that pearce sings his racist lyrics in croatian, which i don't is true. but mind friend claimed to have heard it from the horse's mouth. the last album i ever bought by him was called The Rose Clouds of Holocaust, if that says anything.

and he may have played an anti-racist show, but that don't mean a whole lot, given that boyd rice (a frequent collaborator with DIJ) played rock against racism. it's still a mystery, one that pearce has never went to great lengths to set the record straight.

get yourself along to www.deathinjune.net if they are not the same band i will grovel and beg for sweet mercy but they look like facists to me i also looked dij and one of their pals boyd rice up on the all music guide at www.allmusic.com they look like a bundle of fun
my mate grew up in the end and last time i saw him he was teaching black kids basketball in south london so there is a happy ending now and then
