Bjork, long before she was ‘Bjork’

Photobucket

this is ‘KUKL’..

they were an Icelandic post-punk band that included a young Bjork in her pre-SugarCubes days..

They released 2 albums on the anarchist punk label ‘Crass Records’ including the track in the video below, and I was fortunate enough to see them live in concert 1984 along with anarcho-punk pioneers Flux of Pink Indians. I clearly recall Bjork’s unique and wildly expressive voice, and phenomenal stage presence, but it wasn’t ’til I met her in person at a squatted acid-house party in London in 1990 that I also recognized her as the singer with KUKL..

I’m gonna post some of their edgier stuff in the future, but for now here’s a youtube clip of them performing ‘Anna’..

enjoy
