I have really enjoyed GKR at the last two Airwaves and I’m certainly looking forward to catching his shows again this year. But before that, those of us in London have the chance to see him on Thursday this week when he plays as part of the always excellent JaJaJa night at The Lexington. GKR […]
Einarindra makes that certain sort of smooth electronic music with a synth sound that I can’t get enough of. He’s been getting good attention over the last couple of years from Iceland and beyond for his two E.P.s “Stories” and “Unravel” which are both well worth checking out. I actually decided to finally try to […]
What do you mean it’s only two weeks until Iceland Airwaves 2017? Where did the time go? Obviously this blog been busy watching the Icelandic football team but it’s fair to say that iceblah needed to be woken up. There is no more effective band to be woken up by than The Pink Street Boys, […]
meanwhile, this… see you soon XX
I really try not to feature the same artists two years in a row, but I was really keen to make Milkywhale an exception. They got such great reaction from so many people at Iceland Airwaves 2015, and many people can’t wait to see them again. I’m sure people would love to hear about what […]
Reykjavíkurdætur have been very hard to ignore over the last two or three years. An all-female collective with the sound and beats to easily get past the early novelty value, they will be high up on a lot of must-see lists for Airwaves again. I’ve been hoping to chat to them since 2014 so I’m […]
Oh how I love FM Belfast. Surely everybody loves FM Belfast. I was going to call the Iceland’s finest party starters, but actually they are probably better described as party finishers – there’s nowhere to go once FM Belfast have finished with you other than home in a happy and sweaty daze. They’ve been doing […]
Stroff are an excellent indie-sounding guitar band, they’ve been around since 2012. They feature, as is fashionable, members of various other excellent bands. I thought it was about time I had a chat with them. Beware though, this interview features the devastating news, to me at least, that the logo which I had presumed to […]
So I have just interviewed Major Pink and, to be honest, I still have no idea if he is real or not. But it doesn't matter, it's been a lot of fun and I am convinced enough to place them on the 'must see' list and I suspect you might feel the same in a […]
As far as I know, Kreld (the solo project of Kristján Eldjárn of Sykur) has only released one song, but what a song it is. On "Way Low" Kristján duets with the amazing Jófríður Ákadóttir of Gangly, Pascal Pinon and Samaris, and the song is an ice-cold elctro treat. Press play on the video below […]
