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.
