Yep, they're still alive and kickin'. Since 1994 they'd mostly been doing live & re-mix albums, but they did finally release a new album of original material (Pulse) in 2003. They're actually on tour right now which is way cool because they'll be gallivanting through my neck of the woods on November 21st, and I haven't seen them live in concert since back in 1993! They've also got a live DVD out called Catch The Men which features one of the band's 2004 performances in Belgium. They still remain one of the biggest influences on my own music to this day.

Hiya Summer. I think you might be thinking of "Don't Dream It's Over". I was just playing the opening riff from that one just the other day when I had the guitar out and was noodling. That's a real nice song! By the way, I could look at that avatar of yours all day long. I think I just might! hehe

You gotta remember those spandex clad guys.
LOL... It's true that Krokus had a song called "Headhunter" on an album of the same name back in 1990, but the Front 242 song is a gloriously different piece of music which first appeared on their Front By Front album in 1988. I've been doing my best to try and forget about Krokus and their spandex, but Eddie Trunk did a guest interview with Mark Storace (lead vocalist of Krokus) earlier this month on Friday Night Rocks, so I haven't been able to escape 'em just yet.
