The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (aka The KLF) return

The KLF are back in action! In their own special JAMs/Timelords/KLF way, the revolutionary duo posted a photo/statement confirming the news "the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu are currently at work in their light industrial unit. This work will not be made public until the 23rd of August 2017." View the photo and/or read the text below. Gotta love that the statement begins with a nod to the JAMs debut album 1987 (What The Fuck Is Going On).

Bill Drummond and Jim Cauty have recorded under several pseudonyms over the years -- including the JAMs, Timelords, the KLF, K2, and K Foundation.  After attaining commerical success with The White Room, Drummond and Cauty deleted most of their back catalog in 1992 though re-emerged years later using different pseudonyms. They also published a highly entertaining book about the music industry titled The Manual: How To Have A Number One The Easy Way which is out of print, but some websites/blogs have published the text (google at your own risk).



2017: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

It is almost 23 years since The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu announced a self imposed and self important 23 year moratorium. The reasons for the moratorium have now been lost in time, space and a rusting shipping container somewhere near Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station.

What is known is:

The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu have zero involvement with any video clips, files, recorded music, documentary productions, biographies, West End musicals or social media chatter relating to the letters K L or F, now, or at any other time over these previous 23 years

Furthermore:

The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu have no interest in anything that seeks to comment on, bounce off, glorify, debunk or resurrect their historical work.

The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu are currently at work in their light industrial unit. This work will not be made public until the 23rd of August 2017.
