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."
