Purrkur Pillnikk is a legendary rock band from late punk era in Iceland. The band existed for 18 months (1981-1983) and were very active as they released at least two LPs' worth of songs, along with one live-album and one EP. The distinguishable character of the band were Einar Örn's howling and off-key singing and his lyrics that most often described very day-to-day things but with a lot of interwoven angst. Members of the band later found themselves in KUKL, or in 1986 in The Sugarcubes. The members were: Ásgeir R. Bragason, Bragi Ólafsson, Einar Örn Benediktsson and Friðrik Erlingsson. The three latter ones formed Smekkleysa/Bad Taste publishing house in Reykjavík with friends and were also members of The Sugarcubes.
The Band toured Britain with The Fall in 1982.
