Thought this might be of some interest... the klf are back. Should be
damn interesting. Their antics more than rival Aphex's.

Subject: (klf) BINGO!!
For those who've not seen it yet, here's the crux of the Mute Records
announcement...
http://www.mutelibtech.com/mute/
Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond ARE BACK!!!
here's what it sayeth:
2K
Two full page advertisements in this week's Time Out signal a new work by
Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond, the creative partnership that since
January 1987, has been responsible for The JAMs, The Timelords, The KLF,
The K Foundation and now 2K.
The first ad pronounces: "They're Back. The Creators Of Trance. The Lords
Of Ambient. The Kings Of Stadium House. The Godfathers Of Techno Metal.
The Greatest Rave Band In The World. Ever.
For 23 minutes only"
The second ad is headed: "Jeremy Dellar Presents - 1997 What The Fuck's
Going On." It further explains that: "Jimmy Cauty & Bill Drummond invite
you to a 23 minute performance during which the next 840 days of our
lives will be discussed."
The performance will take place at The Barbican Main Hall, Tuesday 2nd
September 1997 at 7.00pm. This performance represents the entire
life-span of 2K.
Tickets, priced at ?10.00, are available from the Box Office.
A recording of The Barbican performance will be released as a single on
September 22nd.
Cauty and Drummond last performed at the 1992 Brits Awards where they
announced that "The KLF have now left the music business." A statement in May
pronounced that there would be no further record releases under any of
their aliases for the forseeable future.
They subsequently became trustees of The K Foundation which created The K
Foundation Award. This was presented to Turner Prize winner Rachel
Whiteread on November 23rd 1993 outside The Tate Gallery where the Turner
prize was also handed over.
The following August, Cauty & Drummond burnt a million pounds cash of
their own money in a small boathouse on the Isle of Jura.
The 2K idea came about in response to Cauty and Drummond attending the
London Queen Elizabeth Hall performance of Acid Brass, a concept devised by
British artist Jeremy Deller. This featured the twice (1996 & 7) national
champion Williams Fairey Brass Band performing eight acid house anthems,
including The KLF's 'What Time Is Love'.
FOR 23 MINUTES ONLY
