Spit and Snot
1979
Forming an all-girl band in
the spirit of the Sex Pistols, under the title "Spit and Snot";
Björk - with orange hair and shaved-off eyebrows - took the position as drummer
and rebelling against "cute sissy feminist girls who don't have the guts to
DO things". After a while, the quite limited range punk offered bored Björk
and she moved on to join the next band sensation to offer her the next thrill.
Exodus 1980
was the next step - a jazz
fusion group Björk and her friends Ásgeir Sæmundsson and Thorvaldur
Thorvalsson that lasted a garage-recorded cassette and a TV appearance.
Tappi
Tikarrass 1982
This was pure punk pop
which, according to the bassist's dad "fit like a cork in a bitch's
ass!" - and that's exactly what the name Tappi Tíkarrass means - or more
precisely "Cork the bitch's ass".
Releasing 2 albums and appearing in a couple of films, most famous the Icelandic
documentary "Rokk Í Reykjavík" with 2 songs, Björk also became the
cover girl of the video. Tappi later on played alot alongside two other bands,
Purrkurr Pillnikk and Þeyr. A noticeable member of Purrkurr Pillnikk was singer
/ trumpeter Einar Örn Benediktsson.
