Kendall came out to introduce the bands at a show I went to in 1991 or 1992. I can't remember if it was a Front Line Assembly show or a Laibach show. Probably the former.

I always think of Dave Kendall introducing Nitzer Ebb. Whenever I see their name I read it back in my head in his voice.

It's the same for me with Killing Joke

I don't know how I'd forgotten completely about Lewis Largent (his name just spontaneously generated in my brain), especially since he was the host for the entire stretch when I watched the most fanatically.

R.I.P. Lewis Largent. His career had an interesting start:
A native of Southern California, Largent was an enthusiastic golfer as a teen, and he met the general manager of the Los Angeles alternative-radio powerhouse KROQ while working at a country club. Impressed with Largent’s knowledge of music, the GM offered him an internship at the station that led to a full-time role in 1985. He rose quickly through the ranks and was named music director in 1989.In 1992, Largent left the station to take a VP of music programming post at MTV, where he soon began hosting “120 Minutes.”
