Hey Gummi, I saw a great band last night, I think they were called Slowblow. Playing at the Kitchen Motors night at the ICA, supporting Aparat Organ Quartet. They had Emiliana on vocals and one of the Mum sisters on accordian and they were like a very ramshackle but fantastic cross between Sparklehorse and Tindersticks. With Emiliana moonlighting and putting her gorgeous voice to some good songs, it made me think a little bit of A Camp as well. Have you heard of them? Do I have the name right? Someone I was talking to was saying that they hardly ever play live. I think Oxbow was in there somewhere as well. Probably playing the saw I should imagine. As much as you might wish to be in the Dublin Castle or Nice N Sleazy, I wish I was in Gakur A Stang. Sorry if I've spelt it wrong. Just had an email from a friend recommending Kippi Kaninus. Any good? Who's due to play Reykjavik soon? Any other good non-Icelandic bands? Have fun in the sun! Ian

Hi all!!
I was the only one that attended the icelandic sinister picnic. oh it was so much fun! :)
Travis was here on the 4th of july. A great Icelandic band called The Leaves opened the gig and did it well. You lot will probably hear from them in the near future. They cant perform in Iceland without the regular crowd from Q, NME and MTV raid the gig.
Travis were a little dissapointing. I was expecting more, they are Travis after all. They took a whole different setlist then they are used to playing in recent gigs probably because the didnt know what the icelandic crowd knew. They probably didnt notice that the crowd whent nuts when they played Happy from Good Feeling their first album. A album that went nowhere and died the same day it was released. People really love them here. I thought that the gig was a bit short.
Coldplay are the live kings at the moment. They came here last fall and played an amazing gig. Everybody loved it.
Nothing exciting happening here in the summertime now that Travis have gone. The Hives and White Stripes are reported to come here in the fall but thats not confirmed.
We never get any good band because its probably expensive to come with all the gear here on our little island. Now I only need B&S to make a trip here. :)
Gotta go play with me friends now!! The sun never goes away in the summer here so you can imagine how much fun it is to play football all the night.
have fun!
Gummi
