Back home, soaked and chilly to the bone, horrible weather. But a fun night, I saw Nive Nielsen and the Deer Children (Greenland/Belgium), nice, sweet and folky. Then Úlfur, a very short gig, barely 30 minutes, with three songs (for want of a better word). It was lovely to see him back, Mr Endless Legs with the bariton voice. He was very shy, always looked down, but he said a very clear 'dankuwel' and a 'tahhhk fyrir' at the end of song 1 ~ 2. The room was far from perfect which spoiled it a bit, too many people talking and the bartender busy bartending. Red velvet seats in half a circle around a low stage. I was up front (duh) so taking pictures all the time was a bit embarrasing, like there was only two meters of space between him and the audience. I liked the music, some pieces are great, some fragments are wonderful, a few may need a little refinement. Definitely worth buying the album !
some lousy pics : (the lighting was poorly too)
Afterwards I went to see another Icelandic band, Lazyblood. Holy shit, that was truly awful but great fun. Úlfur turned up as well, tucked up in his coat and backpack, almost unrecognisable. He talked a bit to the band, I wanted to go up to him but he stayed out of reach and then disappeared :(
But I went home all :):):)Posted 5 months ago # -
Wow, you certainly aced that assignment!!! Those are just fantastic pics! Thanks for bringing us there, and it sounds like it more than made up for getting wet! ;-) You know you really like that weather anyway, not like some candy dusted cupcakes in california!

that's right moe, I find delight in wintery conditions, but I'd defy a dozen of scorching heatwaves to be with you. and it was a perfect evening.

what I meant to say as well is that I never minded going alone to concerts, but now that I'm beginning to know you all a bit, I truly wish one day I could go in the company of one of you.

I knew at the time I'd regret it, but still - why the heck did I not go to see Swords of Chaos back in Reykjavík? Arghh... Can one listen to some of his solo stuff somewhere already? I'm so curious!
Thanks for the pictures Siri :)
Edit: Oh, I found it. It's on kimirecords.com. Fell in love immediately. Soo looking forward. :D

I'm in!!!!!!!
Sorry, a bit offline today. Trying to catch up with myself. Didn't manage to do it, but put in some effort.
So, we learn Flemish, right? And I'll start with turning over the couch cushions for quarters. If I could find it, that is. The living room is a calamitous mess with a tree half up, boxes everywhere, needles all over and a cat somewhere in the pile.

Dust, actually yeah. He is that good. He's worked with artists outside of Iceland as well, definitely there's a lot of records mixed and also produced not to mention contributed on.
He has a unique take on ambiance and I'm not referring to the genre.The SWEET thing that's just you being a dick.

Katahati - I'm sorry!! The "yay" is mine, not his!! I didn't even notice that!! And if you search for him on Twitter you see all my stupid posts, which is really embarrassing!! But he totally made my day by making my response to him a favorite - eek!! How he found me I have no clue... But I'm so glad!!!!!!!!!!!! An album coming out soon I gather, but I don't recall the name right off. I'll have to check his profile out again... His website is http://www.ulfurhansson.com
