Countdown to Airwaves - international artists part 2

Only three weeks to go until Airwaves (and they´ve just released the schedule, so go check it out here!). I´ve been a busy bee and have spent much of my spare time these past days listening to music by the artists that will be performing at the festival to get a better idea of which shows I´d like to see.

Young galaxy

 Young galaxy play  the perfect dance friendly music. I picture myself dancing the night away to their music. Their song we have everything  is perfect!



Der Staat

Dutch band - they sound very promising!

JD McPherson 

I love love love his song North Side gal!

Matthew Hemerlein

Luminescent braid - such a beautiful song

I think I´ve managed to get through most of the international artists that interest me, and with time to spare! I will be focusing on icelandic artists in the next couple of posts, as there are so many great ones, and so little time left!  

I already pretty much have the schedule planned out for myself- but I learnt last year that it´s best to just go with the flow and try to have fun!

Countdown to Airwaves : GusGus

 It´s official - Iceland Airwaves 2011 is sold out! they just announced it yesterday. I still have a couple of friends that need a ticket, so if you know anyone who' s selling their tickets please contact me :)
This year, GusGus is one of my must see performances. They realeased  a new album, titled Arabian horse earlier this year , featuring  Högni Egilsson from icelandic band Hjaltalin ( he has one of the most wonderful voice I have ever heard, great musician). I actually just recently started listening to this band, after hearing a couple tracks from the new album. Still  the members of Gusgus are no rookies in music, but the band was founded in 1995 and have released 9 albums up until now.
Really can´t wait to see them live in october!!!
