Kung Fu Girls were a fuzzpop band from Oslo started in 1991. They released two classic albums, This Is The Kung Fu Beat (1993) and Puzzle (1995), both originally on CD only, remastered and reissued on vinyl by Hærverk Industrier in 2019 and 2022 respectively. They disbanded shortly after the second album, but were briefly reunited for a concert at Øyafestivalen in 2008.
