Fufanu is a two-piece Alternative band from Iceland, formerly operating as a techno duo under the alias of Captain Fufanu,[1] but now creating Alternative Rock music with the backing of a band.

Background

Fufanu's front man Kaktus, and guitarist / programmer Gulli, were making music before Fufanu, operating as a techno duo under the alias of Captain Fufanu.[2] the full ensemble Fufanu emerged after Captain Fufanu had an album recorded and prepared entirely, but the studios in which it was stored was burgled and the music was lost. When forming the band, Fufanu retained the electronic element with synth pads and bass, coupled with drums and two guitars.

The Iceland-based band have played festivals such as JaJaJa Festival[3] and Iceland Airwaves, as well as playing alongside Damon Albarn at the Albert Hall and then playing with Blur at Hyde Park. They have also received substantial radio coverage as well live radio sessions, such as with John Kennedy of XFM.[4]
