KUKL (a.k.a. K.U.K.L.) was an Icelandic gothic rock, post-punk group active in the 1980s, most notable for being one of Björk's first bands. The name means witch in Medieval Icelandic. The band was formed in August 1983 when Ásmundur Jónsson from Gramm Records wanted to create an avant-garde supergroup to perform on the final episode of a radio show called Áfangar. He assembled Björk Guðmundsdóttir, vocalist of Tappi Tíkarrass; Einar Örn Benediktsson, a trumpeter and vocalist in Purrkur Pillnikk; keyboardist Einar Arnaldur Melax, from the surrealistic group Medúsa; Birgir Mogensen, the bassist from Spilafífl; and finally drummer Siggtryggur Baldursson and guitar player Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson (a.k.a. Godkrist), both from the band Þeyr. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
