KLF

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

From the Beeb


So, The KLF. Are they back or aren't they?

Well, this is a tricky one - there have been rumours abound all week that arty electronic band The KLF are coming back after two decades aayf.*

For those too young to remember, the duo - Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond - had a string of hits in the early 90s, such as What Time is Love and Justified and Ancient and, as the Timelords - Doctorin' the Tardis.

Then in, 1992, the band and thrash punk group Extreme Noise Terror performed a live version of their song 3 a.m. Eternal, culminating in a kilted, cigar-chomping Drummond firing blanks from an automatic weapon into the crowd.

A voice over the PA system announced "The KLF have now left the music business" and later in the evening the band dumped a dead sheep at the entrance to one of the post-ceremony parties.

They also burned a million pounds on a remote Scottish island.

Could you see James Bay or Ed Sheeran doing any of that?

At the beginning of the week, a montage video got people excited but Drummond said, in a statement: "Jimmy and I have always remained very close but we have no plans to reform the KLF or exploit our back catalogue in any way".

Now, a cryptic poster in London seems to suggest they are back from their self-imposed exile.

The poster seems to promise some kind of new work in August but adds "the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu have no interest in anything that seeks to comment on, bounce off, glorify, debunk or resurrect their historical work."

We'll find out in just over six months.

* That was their misprint, not mine :eek:

Pretentious wank!
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
