KUKL concert review

KUKL performing with Flux of pink indians, D & V and Chumbawumba at Conway Hall. Review originally published in SOUNDS 3 sept. 1984.


Such stuff as legends are made of - REALLY. A concert that put a final nail in the coffin of plastic-pose-punk-piss, featuring four of the five best anorcho-punk (sorry about the label!) bands in the world. A shame that Crass weren't there as well to complete the power ...

Kukl are an Icelandic group, which immediately puts them into a fairly select family: even if there were other Icelandic groups to make comparisons with (well-known journalist's pastime), it would be impossible. Venomous and humorous by turns, they possess a peculiarly charismatic frontsperson; if you don't manage to see them before they depart on an European tour, buy their indispensable LP 'The Eye' on Crass records and bemoan what you've missed. Fascinating!"
