KUKL were an Icelandic group created in Reykjavik in August ’83 with Einar \u00d6rn Benediktsson (vocals, earlier in Purrkurr Pillnikk); Bj\u00f6rk Gu\u00f0mundsdottir (vocals, earlier in Tappi Tikarrass); Gu\u00f0laugur Kristinn Ottarsson (guitar, earlier in \u00feeyr); Birger Mogensen (bass, earlier in Killing Joke) ; Einar Melax (keyboards, earlier in Van Houtens Koko) and Sigtryggur Baldursson (drums, earlier in \u00feeyr). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Originally the group was a project based on an idea by among others, Asmundur Jonsson from Gramm Records in Reykjavik. They debuted live\u00a0on Icelandic radio and performed at the “We demand the future” festival in Reykjavik in 1983\u00a0with Crass and a host of other Icelandic bands. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1984\u00a0they performed\u00a0with Psychic TV in Reykjavik and then travelled to England to perform with Flux of Pink Indians and other anarcho bands. KUKL recorded at Southern Studios in London during January 1984. The tracks were engineered by John Loder and produced by Penny ‘Lapsang’ Rimbaud of Crass. Later the same year they played at concerts in several European contries including Paris. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In June 1985 the band performed at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and later the same year at some concerts in Iceland. they played with Megas, the “grand old man” of Icelandic rock. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

At the turn of the year 1986 they released the \u00a0two LP’s that had been recorded previously, on Crass Records.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

KUKL’s music is complex and rhythmic, and a mixture of punk, rock, jazz, and more experimental music, with the lyrics sometimes in English, and sometimes in Icelandic. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

KUKL were a powerful and personal band combining qualities from three important groups in Icelandic rock from the beginning of the eighties.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
