[kj] THEYR featuring Jaz Coleman

[Antoni Adamiak]

As from the NME reports, cuttings of which I *lent* to Paul R & were up on
The Last Laugh website, after Jaz fled to Iceland, only Geordie followed
whilst Big Paul & Youth then formed Brilliant who brought out the ironic 7"
single "What Good Friends Are For" - from a further NME press cutting (link
below), it appears that Jaz fell out with various people (In a Bjork
interview, she was in KUKL and said that many people got very upset) and yes
probably this guy was briefly in Killing Joke, but at some stage BP rejoined
the fold & that's when long time KJ fanatic Paul Raven joined on bass -
hopefully one day the Black Bird can elaborate further on the circumstances
of his recruitment but that's about as much as I know.

Maaaaan, some day, some one needs to sit down and make a book out of all
this. What a band, what a history. It's bloody criminal that nobody has
undertaken such a project but then again, I'm probably as guilty as anyone
in that respect !

Regards,

Antoni

Hi all, while I was looking trough the links Antoni sent, I find something
interesting::

does this guy "Birger Mogensen" ever played with the joke???


KUKL. Icelandic group created in Reykjavik in August '83 with Einar Örn
Benediktsson (vo, tp) (earlier in Purrkurr Pillnikk); Björk Guðmundsdottir
(vo) (earlier in Tappi Tikarrass); Guðlaugur Kristinn Ottarsson (el-g)
(earlier in þeyr); Birger Mogensen (el-b) (earlier in Killing Joke) ; Einar
Melax (keyb) (earlier in Van Houtens Koko) and Sigtryggur Baldursson (dm)
