They started recording at a studio thanks to Björk's acquaintance with the studio owner and released their first single in 1983.[44] Their first big performance was at a festival in Iceland which was headlined by English anarchist punk band Crass, whose record label, Crass Records offered the band a record deal. The Eye was released in 1984 and was followed by a two-month tour in Europe, which also included a performance at Roskilde Festival in Denmark, making Kukl the first Icelandic band to play at the festival.[40][44] During this period Björk published a hand-coloured book of poems. Um Úrnat frá Björk was distributed in 1984.[3] In 1985, the singer found out she was expecting a child from Eldon, but continued touring with Kukl.[3] Their second album, called Holidays in Europe (The Naughty Nought), came out in 1986, but after some months the band split up due to personal squabbles, with Björk keeping a collaboration with Óttarsson, which was named The Elgar Sisters. Some of the songs they recorded ended up as B-sides to Björk solo singles.[3][45]
