LiLiPUT were a Swiss post-punk/new wave band active from 1978 to 1983.

The group formed in 1978 under the name Kleenex, and soon made a name for themselves, until the threat of legal action by Kimberly-Clark in 1979 prompted a change of name to LiLiPUT (Kleenex being a propietry brand of tissues in Switzerland). Their initial line-up was consisted of Regula Sing (vocals), Marlene Marder (guitar), Klaudia Schiff (bass) and Lislot Ha (drums), and in the late 1970s the band recorded a number of successful singles prior to Sing’s departure. In 1982, after playing together for four years, LiLiPUT released their first self-titled full-length LP on Rough Trade.

In 2001, Kill Rock Stars released a 46-track double-disc CD spanning five years of LiLiPUT’s recordings, starting in 1978 when they were still under the name of Kleenex.

I think they're maybe the best band that (nearly) nobody listens to. And to Andrewbiles, things may have been released as Kleenex, but they were re-released as LiLiPUT

Although I understand the whole name change thing they had to go through, why does Kleenex stuff get redirected to here? There was material released by them under that name rather than Liliput.

The band Love Is All definitely is influenced by them. It's nice to see a deviation from the usual JD/GOF reference points.

Yeah, in the days of the new wave/post punk revival, bands like this don't get enough credit.
