K.U.K.L. / À Paris 14.9.84 / 1985

 K.U.K.L. - A' Paris 14-9-84 (tape july 1985 V.I.S.A. rf 003)
Cassette of the live concert by K.U.K.L. at Eldorado, Paris, France on September 14, 1984.

For those who doesn't know..K.U.K.L. was a band from Reykjavík, Iceland, and was one of the first band of now worldwide famous Bjork (previously also in Tappi Tíkarrass). The band released 2 lps for the CRASS records and the first single in 1983 for Gramm (Iceland's post-punk label). This tape was recorded live, distributed by the french tape (mostly) label V.I.S.A. (cat. Rebel Flux 003). This tape is great. It's 40 minutes of concert, they played all their songs recorded on vinyls, angry post-punk, always so articulated, dissonant, that couldn't be simply described as punk even if the angry strenght is the same. Think about a strange mix of B52's and UK Decay...

The tape is mostly punk. we have the cool skate-punker Angry Samoans with two tracks (that could be found also on their first lp), the Idaho punkers Spyke Haytrid, the whole 7'' of the Cracked Actor from NY and 4 furios hardcore songs by candian Suburban Menace.

Alongside these punkers  we have some legendary noise act: the nerd pranksters SMERSH with 3 songs (later or previously on 'Noise Ding Don'), amazing as usual, acid synth-punk, apocalypse of rhythm machine and distorted sounds. The SENSLESS HATE delight our ears with their delicate touch..ultra harsh noise rock...'Prophet of Doom' by BLIGHT is another proof of good acid punk with the right equalization of distorted sound. To close the tape...ATTRITION from uk...great industrial synthetized song.
