Sonicbids and Iceland Airwaves want YOU!

18.06.07

In a quest reminiscent of the Sword of Excalibur (and to a lesser extent, the Slipper of Cinderella), Iceland Airwaves and Sonicbids are looking for the very best undiscovered talent to perform at the festival.

 

Sonicbids is an online music community that brings musical talents and promoters together. It is one of the largest site of its kind with over 100,000 artists and more than 10,000 promoters. Iceland Airwaves is now one of those promoters. For a chance to perform at this year''s festival, create an EPK (Electronic Press Kit) at Sonicbids (if you haven''t already) and submit it to us via www.sonicbids.com/icelandairwaves. Where you can also can also get the Airwaves/Sonicbids combo package that includes a 3 month membership. | more

Annuals (US) Added to the Bill

When you listen to the Annuals (US) [pictured above], You would be forgiven to think you were listening to a B-side from The Arcade Fire, an out-take from The Flaming Lips or a forgotten album by the world''s most lovable mental patient, Brian Wilson. You would be wrong, though.

 

The masterfully crafted pop music in your ears was made by a bunch of twenty-year olds from Raleigh, North Carolina. That''s right, they are twenty. Those prodigiously talented kids make dreamy, complex music that captures the halcyon days of experimental Beatles-era pop without ever sounding dated. We''re totally in love with The Annuals'' tunes, but listening to music that good by people so young makes us feel really old. | more

Boys In A Band (FO) Team Up With Guys With A Festival

In a true gesture of family love, Iceland Airwaves and G! Festival in the Faroe Islands have formed a partnership to share bands at each other''s festivals.

 

Our very own Ultra Mega Tecnobandið Stefán will perform at this year''s G! Festival taking place July 19-21. And in turn, Boys In A Band (FO) will play at the Iceland Airwaves festival in October. Boys In A Band play an exhilarating mix of good ol'' rock n roll and modern dance-music. They''ve been known to bring the ruckus to their concerts and whip the crowds into a fever. So you might want to wear a helmet.| more
