Our Story - CoB & Who Killed The KLF

The Birth of CoB Captured in Documentary on the KLF

If you know Church of Burn, you probably know The KLF. There’s a strong case to be made that without Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty’s infamous sacrificial act on Jura in 1994, our Church might never have existed.

Who Killed The KLF? took nearly a decade to reach audiences, delayed first by the director’s five-year prison sentence for tax fraud and then by a protracted copyright dispute. When the film finally became available on streaming services in 2022, none of us at Church of Burn expected to see ourselves on screen.

To our astonishment, the documentary featured footage from our very first event at the Cube Cinema in Bristol in 2015. Look closely, and you will even see The Staff in action for the first time at a CoB ritual! [All Hail, The Staff!]
