The man in the Ice Cream Van? Vanilla Bill? I always suspect that anything KLF-y will always have something about it that would betray its origins (even the "I Wanna 121 WIth You" single had KLF lettering on the inner sleeve). Some things which were meant to be KLF - 1300 Drums, for example - had nothing that could be identified with B & J (and of course, were nothing to do with them) I don't think Vanilla were a "hoax" anyway - they were merely a pop group, like B*witched or Cartoonz, and there was nothing subversive or situationist about them. My opinion, anyway ... John

Vanilla
Can anyone shed light on whether the atrocious girl-band "Vanilla" and their single "No Way No Way (Mna mna)" was a hoax perpetrated on the UK music industry by Bill Drummond?
anyone got an opinion on that?
cheers
