      OFFICIAL PRESS-RELEASE ISSUED BY MSO 4/21/99:			

      Statement from Sascha  K. regarding
      media reports linking the band to the school-shootings in Littleton, CO:
 
 
         "First and foremost, KMFDM would like to express
      their deep and heartfelt sympathy for the parents,
      families and friends of the murdered and injured
      children in Littleton," says Sascha K., founder of
      KMFDM.  "We are sick and appalled, as is the rest of
      the nation, by what took place in Colorado yesterday."
      "KMFDM are an art form--not a political party.
      From the beginning, our music has been a statement against 
      war, oppression, fascism and violence against others", 
      emphatically states SASCHA.
      "While some of the former band members are German 
      as reported in the media, none of us condone any Nazi
      beliefs whatsoever."
