When Shows Go Off The Air
Gus Gus at KEX Hostel Gus Gus played an economical and fist-pumping set of monster hits to a full house of eager listeners at KEX Wednesday. Their music is hugely […]
Kippi’s Big-Band Steal The Show At Kaldalón
And so, I return to Harpa’s Kaldalón, safely segregated from the party of Airwaves in the city’s newly finished metal-and-glass music and culture venue. This night is
Mannheim Thunder Stance
Night began with Muted’s second coming out at this Airwaves to a undeservedly half-empty room, although it had to be expected with a tech-house night at eight o’clock in the d
Megas, stay home; the new kids are in town
And where were you? Huddled inside NASA waiting for the tUnE-yArDs show? Sucker. This was officially the best-show-you-missed.
Booze, Blood, Bacteria, Beats, Beauties, Bongos, Angel Buttsecks!
[An earlier version of this review mistakenly claimed that the venue was selling bottles of water for 500 ISK. While initially confirmed, further research has revealed that this in
Put On My Raving Shoes And I Boarded The Plane
I began my partying days in the death-rattle of the classic rave scene, when gigantic warehouses were taken over by masses of DJs and electronic masters for anonymous, clandestine,
Glaumbar Is A Two-Faced Bastard
Glaumbar can be a very good concert venue, but it also can totally suck. On this Airwaves Friday I could see both sides of the coin. The small dancefloor in […]
We Can Be Heroes
Tonight, I was once again surprised in ways I didn’t think possible. That stunning, dancing, ceaseless grip of what small-venue Airwaves can be came back to visit us tonight,
“I’ve Been Saved by Jesus, So Fuck You!”
O'Connor is a stellar performer. Do not forget that her rise to global fame was based on bettering Prince's version of his song "Nothing Compares 2 U." Outshining Prince is not som
A Whole Lot of Rocking
I arrive drenched and disheveled at Harpa, ready to see what this years Airwaves ‘it’ venue (or just this years ‘it’ venue in general) has to offer. Insane weather forced [
Sound the siren
Once upon a time, the firm calm of sonowolf gaze. Úlfur may be the next beast to explode from birch undergrowth with a gnash of belief. Foregrounding fairy-tale twinkle and crus

Zip Zip, Zun Zun!: Zun Zun Egui bring the fun (and their shades) to Airwaves
There’s eclectic, and then there’s Zun Zun Egui. Formed from the cultural primordial soup of Bristol’s avant-garde music scene, they started as a 14 person strong collective,
Back To The Futuregrapher!
In the far out world of Futuregrapher, Ringo Starr is your best friend to get hammered with…
Fists Of Fury!
Fist Fokkers know the five finger deathpunch of rock. Annoy them at your peril
An Australian Presence At Airwaves
Icelandic is a strange language. It has 32 letters and many of them hurt to look at if you have a hangover. I made a lap around the island when […]
PBP PUNK DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING
There’s a palpable air of “we don’t care what anyone else is doing or if they like what and how we do” around Paradísarborgarplötur label/collective. It&#
