The concert gods are smiling down on Iceland. I just received word of, and bought tickets to, a charity concert that's gonna happen here in January. Some featured artists, Power-Point style:
- Múm: I think they play a lot of horns and chimes and things.
- Damien Rice: Some whiny singer guy.
- Sigur Rós: Their name means "Victory Flower", or something. Other than that I don't know much about them.
- Hjálmar: Icelandic reggae, early-70s-style. Surprisingly good.
- Ghostdigital: Ex-Sugarcube Einar Örn's band. His co-collaborator Bibbi got me into a Sigur Rós show once.
- Egó: Band of Bubbi Morthens, the Icelandic Elvis/Lennon figure.
- Björk Guðmundsdóttir: Yeah, that Björk. She had a couple of medium-sized hits.

Hi
ended up here randomly and really enojyed reading about your life in Iceland, a place I'd love to visit soon. Also, I saw Sigur Ros here in London a few weeks ago. They played a wonderful show and I can't wait for their return in March. I can't hide a bit of jealousy for your going to the charity event - Mum and Bjork are also amongst my favourites, and Damien Rice isn't that bad, don't worry :-)
Take care.
I'm going to see Sigur Ros for the first time on Valentines Day. I really enjoy their stuff. I've heard it's like no other live show out there. i strongly suggest downloading a few songs just to try them out before the show. their stuff is very subtle sometimes, its always better to get to know a few tunes before you go.
Have fun!
Hi Moxx,
Thanks for reading. If you look at the post below this one, you'll see that I was just at a Sigur Rós show here in Iceland. My 9th in fact. :-) I've seen them now in 3 countries and even helped carry their equipment offstage once. You'll really enjoy your first show and never be quite the same afterwards... one show isn't enough.
Bestu kveðjur,
JB
