Disco 2000
Disco 2000 was a British pop band, a side project of The KLF. Vocals were handled by Cressida Cauty (wife of KLF co-founder Jimmy Cauty) and June Montana, also known as Mo (former vocalist of Jimmy Cauty's previous band Brilliant). Between 1987 and 1989, Disco 2000 released three singles on the KLF Communications label, none of which entered the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart.
==History==
In 1981, Cressida Bowyer and Jimmy Cauty performed in the band Angels 1–5.〔"Keeping it Peel", BBC Peel Sessions catalogue, BBC Online ((link ))〕 They later married. Between 1983 and 1986, Jimmy Cauty and June Montana were members of the band Brilliant, in which Jimmy Cauty played guitar.〔Sharkey, A., "Trash Art & Kreation", ''The Guardian Weekend'', 21 May 1994 ((link )).〕 Brilliant were signed to WEA Records by their A&R man of the time, Bill Drummond, but despite considerable investment, the act was commercially unsuccessful. Tired of his job and disillusioned with the industry, Drummond left WEA in July 1986, and some months later co-founded The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (The JAMs) with Jimmy Cauty. The duo established an independent record label, KLF Communications, as a means to release The JAMs' material, and, as a side project, they dabbled in pop music with 'Disco 2000', a group fronted and vocalised by Cressida Cauty and Mo Brathwaite, who arrived from Leicester. Disco 2000's debut single, the first of three, was "I Gotta CD", released on 30 October 1987. Neither this nor its follow-ups "One Love Nation" (1988) and "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" (1989) entered the UK Singles Chart,〔Rice, J. and Roberts, D. (2000) Guinness Book of British Hit Singles (13th Ed.), Guinness Publishing Ltd., London.〕 despite the pop production sound and some publicity, including music videos for "One Love Nation" and "Uptight".〔Longmire, Ernie et al. (2005), (KLF discography ). This has been the authoritative KLF discography on the internet for some 10 years or more and has been the subject of long-term scrutiny and peer review by KLF fans and collectors. It was maintained by the fan site KLF.de but moved to a website of one of the former klf.de members since the website of KLF.de is down.〕〔Brown, J., "Disco 2000 out-bugging the bad guys", ''New Musical Express'', 7 May 1988 ((link )).〕 A track entitled "Feel This" was contributed by the group to the 1989 ''Eternity Project One'' LP (assembled by former Brilliant member Martin Glover), under the name 'Discotec 2000'.
Cressida and Jimmy Cauty later set up home in a squat that also housed the KLF Communications recording studio, Trancentral.〔 As Drummond and Jimmy Cauty dedicated themselves to The KLF, Cressida took on an organisational role for KLF Communications,〔Cauty, C., "KLF Info Sheet 6", KLF Communications, August 1989 ((link )).〕 in addition to design and choreography work for The KLF, and her own work as an artist.〔
