Music Trivia Question 8
KLF is gonna rock you! - On February 13, 1992 the KLF were to perform at the Brit Awards ceremony, because they were going to receive a 'Best British Band' award. The audience, mostly music bizz types, didn't quite get what they expected though. Drummond and Cauty took to the stage accompanied by a trashmetal band and performed a rather heavy version of '3AM Eternal'. Which band did they perform with?
The correct answer is 'Extreme Noise Terror'
At the afterparty the KLF didn't really mingle with the other guests, but merely left a dead sheep and eight gallons of blood in the lobby. On May 5, 1992, the KLF officially retired from the music business at the height of their fame, exactly 15 years after Bill Drummond made his first forays into music. They were deadly serious and it wasn't a ploy to sell more records, because they deleted their entire back catalogue. For their further adventures as the K Foundation and more you'll have to wait for my next quiz on The Lords of Mu. Over & out.
