My brother is the hugest fan of the KLF and he had a ton of there discs
singles and a lot of other cool shit. It was all stolen one night from his
car...too bad, anyways he told me that he saw them in VAncouver in a really
small club, and he said it was the best live performance he's ever seen. I
was wondering where they are now, what happened, I would love to see them
myself now that I am older and can.

They did a track on the _Help_ compilation under the name "One World
Orchestra". Jimmi is getting himself in trouble these days in some
environmentalist protests with his 2 armored cars and Bill is touring the
UK on a book tour. Not much chance they'll be doing mu-sic again.

I believe it is the UK magazine "Future Music" which has a segment called
"Where are they now?" I remember earlier this year they did a column on
KLF. An enterprising researcher would be able to find this article with
relative ease, since Future Music is a monthly magazine.

As far as I know, the KLF (Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond) never performed
outside the UK.

As explained in the FAQ (see URL elsewhere in this thread), Wanda Dee, a
vocalist they sampled, 'performed' to pre-recorded tracks with a
half-naked dance troupe at various locations in North America under the
name Wanda Dee and the New KLF. They were often promoted as being The
KLF, which they were not. Drummond mentioned in an interview that they
didn't have much control over the situation.

My bro said that they were all in the garb from the video,

3 a.m. eternal, you know the robes and stuff.....

I don't see why he would lie.....i'm positive that he said the rapper was
there however. Maybe it WAS the new KLF. He will be dissapointed if i tell
him this though.Thanks for the reply
