My Bubba & Mi are two ladies called Bubba and My (not Mi) who make gentle, sweet and irresistible songs and have been getting a load of ecstatic reviewers going crazy. I haven't ever seen them perform but I'm aiming to put that right next week. I am totally in love with their cover of Bob Dylan's You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go.

They talked to me from their jungle hideout, deep in preparation for Iceland Airwaves 2012.

My bubba & Mi – I Will Never Love A Young Boy Again by Fastcut Records

Where are you right now and what are you doing?

We're in the jungle, writing an album.

Very nice. Who is in the band and how did you come to be together?

Bubba moved in to My's apartment in Copenhagen four years ago. We started singing together over the dishes and in the evening. Then we played two songs in a bar when an Italian café owner biked by. He invited us to come and tour in Italy and so we did. We have been touring a whole lot ever since.

My and Bubba are the steady members in the band but we often bring other musicians along when we tour. We have one lady in each harbour, just like the sailors like it.

In your wildest dreams, who would you most like to see at the front of the crowd at your show?

Bob Dylan & Peaches – on a date.

(Did you know Bob Dylan drew a picture of some peaches once?)

What else are you keen to see at Airwaves this year?

Boogie trouble, Valdimar & Ólöf Arnalds.

Can you pass on some tips for first timers at Airwaves and in Iceland?

Try the lamb!
