Purrkur Pillnikk ('Sleepy Chess-Player') is a rock band from late punk era in Iceland. The band existed for 18 months (1981–1982) and were very active as they released at least two LPs, one live-album and two EPs. The distinguishable character of the band were Einar ?rn's howling and off-key singing and his lyrics that most often described very day-to-day things but with a lot of interwoven angst. Members of the band later found themselves in KUKL, or in 1986 in the Sugar cubes.
The members were: ásgeir R. Bragason, Bragi ólafsson, Einar ?rn Benediktsson and Frierik Erlingsson. The three latter ones formed Smekkleysa/Bad Taste publishing house in Reykjavík with friends and were also members of The Sugarcubes.
