KLF

The KLF (also known as Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The Timelords and other names) were one of the seminal bands of the British acid house movement during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Beginning in 1987, Bill Drummond (alias King Boy D) and Jimmy Cauty (alias Rockman Rock) released hip hop-inspired and sample-heavy records as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, and on one occasion (the British number one hit single "Doctorin' the Tardis") as The Timelords. The abbreviation of the band has long been a mystery; it is widely believed to stand for "Kopyright Liberation Front". Their most notorious performance was a collaboration with Extreme Noise Terror at the February 1992 BRIT Awards, where they fired machine gun blanks into the audience and dumped a dead sheep at the aftershow party. This performance announced The KLF's departure from the music business, and in May 1992 the duo deleted their entire back catalogue.

Links To Peel
Peel started playing the KLF sometime in 1987, when they were called the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, but did not seem to play their 1988 UK number 1 hit single "Doctorin' The Tardis", when they were called The Timelords. However he did start playing KLF material in 1990 and later on the group collaborated with Extreme Noise Terror after Bill Drummond heard them on Peel's show. Their collaboration ultimately led to their only 1992 Festive Fifty entry called "3am Eternal", which entered at number 44.
