I love Reykjavík! the band nearly as much as I love Reykjavík the city. They are one of those bands who I merrily seek out time after time at Iceland Airwaves. Their live shows are the stuff of Airwaves legend, and you really need to check them out, as it really does need to be […]
Hey, look at those five cheeky kind of naked guys! That is not how my family behave. Anyway – Kiriyama Family are an electronic band with a freshly released debut album YOU are going to want to own by the end of Iceland Airwaves 2012. Just to make sure, they are going to play six […]
Mammút are one of the regulars of Iceland Airwaves despite still appearing to be teenagers and, as you are about to read, still going to school. Sigh. They have two excellent albums behind them and are always good to see live. Typically they work really hard at Airwaves, seeming to be playing off-venue shows pretty […]
Legend are one of the bands I am most looking forward to seeing at Iceland Airwaves next week. I absolutely love their debut album but I haven't ever seen them play before. Songs like City, Runaway Train and Sister especially have been part of the soundtrack to my 2012. They are fronted by Krummi Bjorgvins […]
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 […]
Þórir Georg is one of my absolute favourite artists of the last decade. He first came to my attention when I bought his album from him at the till of 12 Tónar without realising he was the artist until he picked up his guitar and played an in store set moments later. That intimate set, […]
Now that is worth celebrating. And by celebrating I obviously mean turning on this blog for the first time in months – I am red faced with shame. Anyhow, it's a wonderful album, some songs will be familiar from the last couple of year's live shows and the rest are just as great. I guess […]
Mr David Berndsen, or "Berndsen" as we know him is a regular Iceland Airwaves favourite. He wears his flawless eighties influences high up on his sleeve for all to see. His shows are all about giving the crowd a good time. They're usually full of locals too, that's always a good sign. Hello – Where […]
At Iceland Airwaves last year, a band called Yunioshi arrived determined to have fun, make friends and entertain. They succeeded brilliantly and I know I’m not the only person delighted to see them back in town again for Iceland Airwaves 2011. I don’t spend a whole load of my Airwaves time watching acts from outside […]
For A Minor Reflection are four young guys from Reykjavík who have grown from a hard rock duo, via a bunch of Pink Floyd covers, to the very wonderful post-rock soundscapers they are today. If this sounds like your thing you must catch them at Iceland Airwaves 2011 on Wednesday at 3pm at Kex, and […]
