Biggi / Editor, Monitor music magazine
I am excited to see !!!, Bloc Party and Chromeo,
but that is not going to happen since they are
all playing at the same time. But also, Annuals,
Bonde de Role, Ra Ra Riot, Foreign Monkeys,
Hjaltalín, and Musik Zoo.
Andri / Radio DJ, Reykjvík FM
I will begin with seeing Bob Justman at NASA,
followed by the Musik Zoo at Gaukurinn. Then I’ll
spend the rest of the evening at NASA to see !!!,
Mínus and Dr. Spock.
Arnar Eggert / Music Journalist
The unbelievable band, Ég, is not be missed. The
return of death metal legends Strigaskór nr. 42 will
then get me metalized. Leaves are without a doubt
one of THE best Icelandic bands around, and I’m
looking forward to see them („Kingdom Come”:
song of the year).
Do not miss...
Strigaskór nr. 42
Organ – 22:00
Nearly twenty years ago, Strigaskór nr. 42 rewrote
Icelandic metal annals with their full frontal speed
metal invasion. The band has been on hiatus
since 1994, but the gathering is upon us at last.
Dig up that old black long sleeve Slayer shirt and
witness history repeated at Organ.
Mugison
NASA – 22:15
It has been two years since the Golden Boy of
Icelandic indie pop released Mugimama, Is This
Monkey Music?, an album that won the heart and
minds of critics and music fans alike. Mugison is
now ready with a new album and this will be the
first opportunity for many fans to hear what he
has been up to.
The Annuals (US)
Reykjavík Art Museum – 23:00
From Raleigh, North Carolina, the hotbed of cut-
ting edge music, come The Annuals – as polished
and sophisticated as southern hospitality. They
have been known to seamlessly blend different
styles, from electronica to folk to straight rock.
The Annuals have a reputation for being a great
live act; this is your chance to catch them in ac-
tion.
Bonde de Role (BR)
Gaukurinn – 23:00
Quite possibly the liveliest act to play this year’s
Airwaves. This Brazilian threesome (any double
entendres you might think of are likely warranted)
are guaranteed to create a dance frenzy with their
funk-laden groove attack. Singing and shouting
in Portuguese, if these kids don’t get you moving,
you’re already dead.
Mínus
NASA – 01:00
Veteran Icelandic rockers Mínus have recently
gone through a line up change and are in the
midst of reinventing their sound. Always a reliable
live act, the band recently promised to reveal new
material at this year’s Airwaves. With nothing to
lose and everything to gain, this should be one
hell of a show.
Radio LXMBRG (SE)
Lídó 01:15
Five Stockholmites follow up on their second LP,
the eclectic Trivial Matters. Their sound com-
bines Manchester in the early ‘80s with modern
dance pop synths to create their own version of
disco-punk, while mostly by-passing the Serge
Gainbourg theme of their debut album. Definitely
one of the most exciting up and coming bands in
Sweden.
