Major league Danish rock band fronted by Michael Falch, active 1977-84 and after a reunion again during 1990-94. Released debut album [r=2886747] in 1980 on minor label Amar Records with little attention but had an instant breakthrough with second album [r=6813099] and the hit-single "Superlove".

After the release of a live album, [r=1053411], recorded during their 1984 spring tour, the band broke up and Falch immersed on a successful solo-career. In 1990, as Falch's solo career was fading, Malurt reunited in the original line-up minus Littauer. In 1992 they released the Thomas Helmig produced comeback album [r=1639370] to critical acclaim and fine sales, followed by less successful [r=1893213] the year after. To this day, the band has not officially broke up.
