Electronic Music Pioneers The KLF Dive Into Care Home Industry

In an unexpected turn, the renowned electronic music duo The KLF has announced a new enterprise focussed on the care home sector, named KLF Kare, aiming to support the wellbeing of their aging fanbase. This initiative marks a unique intersection of music and healthcare, tapping into the nostalgic 'raver' community.

An Innovative Approach to Elderly Care

The project, KLF Kare, while seemingly a surprise, aligns with the group's history of unconventional ventures. They are introducing what they call 'branding solutions' to the care home market, potentially revolutionizing the way these establishments connect with their residents. The KLF's vision includes engagement activities like a Kareovision Kristmas Song Kontest, bringing a musical twist to the lives of care home inhabitants.

Music Meeting Care

Complementing their business launch, The KLF released a remix of Harry Nilsson's classic 'Everybody’s Talkin’,' teasing the notion it could become a chart-topping hit for the holiday season. Their statement—'KLF Kare will take you where the sun keeps shining, through the pouring rain'—conjures images of an idyllic retirement for those who once danced to their hits such as 'Last Train To Trancentral' and 'Justified.'

Controversy and Charisma

The duo, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, are no strangers to publicity stunts. Their past includes the infamous burning of £1 million on a Scottish isle and the initiation of the People's Pyramid project. These controversial actions have often been met with mixed reactions, highlighting conversations about art, money, and social responsibility.

Despite such actions raising eyebrows, The KLF has consistently commanded attention, with a history of bestseller achievements in the music scene during their performing years. With the introduction of KLF Kare, they continue to push boundaries and invoke dialogue, this time in a sector far removed from their musical origins.
