King Kurt

In 1983 King Kurt hit the Top 40 with 'Destination Zululand' on Stiff Records. They'd already built up a manic following at their riotous gigs, famously strewn with all sorts of muck thrown at and from the audience whilst also offering haircuts and drinking competitions! Musically a bizarre mix of roots rock-a-billy, funk, African rhythms and pop, adding their own unique craziness and humour, they followed up with the Top 50 singles 'Mack The Knife' and 'Banana Banana'. Regular TV shows increased their notoriety as the rat-fixated nutty mohican kids of rock'n'roll. This is the first time on vinyl since the original LP, thirty-five years ago!
