J.M.K.E. is an Estonian punk rock band, which formed in Tallinn on January 18, 1986. Biography The original singer, Mati, left the band soon afterwards, leaving Venno on drums, Tarvo on bass, and Villu on vocals and guitar, sometimes working together with guest singers (with Tõnu Trubetsky from Vennaskond playing under the name "Vürst Trubetsky & J.M.K.E."). For the first three years they mainly played concerts in Estonia, with a few also in Latvia, Lithuania and Russia. It was almost impossible to tour outside the Soviet Union then, especially due to the KGB. J.M.K.E. are known for their lyrics, which are at the same time angry and funny, ironic and melancholic, full of care yet cynical, and also they are known because of their peculiar melodic yet hardcore punk rock sound. They became one of the more popular rock outfits in Estonia, with the likes of Vennaskond, and Operatsioon Õ. In 1987 Villu wrote "Tere Perestroika", in
