Iceland AIrwaves Thursday Night Roundup

Tonight, we ran around and saw Soundspell, Disa, Olafur Arnalds, Ghost and FM Belfast.

Iceland Airwaves

Soundspell we saw last year, they're always good to see. They tried out a lot of new material, so hopefully a new CD is coming soon. (We play Soundspell on Digitalis)

We knew that we'd like Olafur Arnalds performance when they brought out 5 red chairs.

Olafur Arnalds and his String Quartet mix electronic and classical music, creating beautiful sounds that take you to another place.

Disa at Iceland Airwaves

Disa was a young singer with a small band, kind of reminiscent of old Sugarcubes.

Ghost got to their set late due to a type in the Airwaves directory- their show was rushed and not as nice as when we caught their small show at the bookstore the other day. Still, they show a lot of promise.

FM Belfast is a huge local favorite. They're the band that everyone is friends with. 2/3rds of the audience was singing along with their songs and knew every word. They're an electro-pop act that's mostly a DJ/Laptop Performer and a bunch of vocalists / dancers.
