Not funny anymore: Laibach

Yesterday I attended a gig with former Yugoslavian industrial synth rock pioneers Laibach at Rockefeller (Oslo). With Laibach being an obvious main influence on contemporary industrial rockers as Nine Inch Nails and Rammstein, I was a bit surprised about how utterly outdated the band both sounded and appeared on stage.

I'm no Laibach fan, in fact the only two songs I know of are two covers, "Life is Life" and "In the Army now", and they played them both.

In brief, this band is industrial music's Spinal Tap. Wasted time and money, but a bit fun after all. But I'm not sure that the band wants to be that kind of "fun". This band ought to stop now.
