Laibach
 
By Kory Grow
 
Last week, the avant-garde industrial group Laibach became the first-ever Western rock group to perform in North Korea's capital, Pyongyang. The band, which formed in 1980 in what was then the communist country Yugoslavia and is now Slovenia, performed a short set last Wednesday that was mostly composed of tunes from The Sound of Music and other covers, as well as some Laibach originals at the city's Ponghwa Theatre and an acoustic set at the Kum Song music school.

I only own one Laibach album (1996's Jesus Christ Superstars), so I'm not what you'd call a huge fan, but they seem to have done a lot of interesting stuff over the years.  I suppose I'm more intrigued by the idea of Laibach than by the band themselves, if that makes sense.
