History
Originally a DJ duo, FC Kahuna put together a live band — with Hafdís Huld on vocals and John Thompson on bass — and toured the UK in support of Röyksopp in 2002, which culminated in a sold out show at Brixton Academy. The band also played at Coachella in Southern California, T In The Park in Scotland, Roskilde in Denmark, Reading and Leeds in the UK, and Benicassim in Spain.
In 2003, they released their first mix album Another Fine Mess — an offshoot of the Another Late Night compilation series — which featured tracks by Blur, The Polyphonic Spree, Green Velvet, Josh Wink and others. Among the artists remixed by the band are New Order, Felix Da Housecat, Mellow and the US band The Faint.
The music of the duo was featured in TV shows such as Hotel Babylon, Six Feet Under, CSI: Miami and Nip/Tuck, and in films such as Domino, Layer Cake, Riding Giants and Rolling (film). The music for several video games have also featured input from the duo. These included Need For Speed Underground and Crackdown.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
