Description

In the early '90s, the KLF were the biggest selling singles band in the world--until they destroyed their records, erased themselves from music history, and literally set fire to one million pounds. In this fascinating music biography, popular British writer and cultural historian John Higgs digs into the story behind the end of one of the most popular--and yet obscure--bands of the late twentieth century. The band themselves, when asked in interviews, were never able to truly explain their behavior, but looked haunted every time it came up. With his characteristically creative mind, Higgs leads readers on a journey to understand "a story that no one knows they are in--least of all the main characters." Ranging through music history and chaos theory, to Carl Jung and Doctor Who, this brilliant pop biography has been named one of the top ten music books of the year by The Guardian, The Independent, and MOJO magazine. Perfect for music fans and mystery fans alike, The KLF is an engrossing and entertaining read.
