The first week of the European Tour

Hey hey, 

So the first week is over... Time flies fast when you having fun, eh?  

Anyway, we’re back in Horsens, Denmark where we’re staying for two nights by the courtesy of Studio Sýrland DK which is by the way one of the most beautiful places we’ve been to! The house that the studio is in was built 1743 so it’s all really old-school (except the studio equipment of course) and neat. 

This first week we’ve played four gigs, three in Denmark and one in Sweden. This is the first time we’re playing in these countries and definitely not the last because the receptions  have been really really nice. The first gig was at SPOT Festival in Aarhus where we we’re the last on stage, around half past twelve so we we’re worried that nobody would come due to the non-stop party that was happening all around during that time. But eventually a lot of people came and it was really cool to have around 10-15 guys just losing it in front of the stage - they were awesome - thanks guys! So we were satisfied with that show. 

The next show was at Studio Syrland where we shared stage with our fellow Icelanders Ólafur Arnalds and Dísa and also MIMAS, a danish band. That was really fun. After the gig there was a barbecue with all the artists and the people who came to the show. We didn’t get rid of Ólafur Arnalds and his string quartet yet because the day after all of us played a really nice show at Nordatlantens Brygge in Copenhagen, where the Icelandic embassy has residence. Despite the humongous size of that house, the room we played in only took around 100-150 people but that didn’t matter and the place was full (woo-hoo). 

The morning after, around 7 am, we drove to Stockholm, Sweden in... not the best mood maybe for a while and arrived around 3 pm. There we were invited to a visit to the Icelandic embassy in Sweden (yeah, we’re all about the embassies) to watch Guffi play the piano for our Eurovision superstar Jóhanna Guðrún in her song “Is It True.” I think we have never seen Guffi so excited about anything (which ok. I guess). He was the first on the bus and the first to leave, he was strangely quick to throw all the instruments, amps and guitar effects on the stage and soundchecked amazingly quick but by the time we arrived to the embassy we we’re informed that Jóhanna Guðrún had a sore throat and could not sing! We all wish her a quick recovery. On the other hand that didn’t stop Guffi the Superman. He played the song all by himself, the chords and the melody and took a job as dinner music pianist... We had to drag him out! But our visit to the embassy in Sweden was really pleasant - thanks a lot. 

Later that night we played at a place called Debaser Slussen, a really cool place - total rock place which is cool and had a really nice time there. The sound guy and the lights guy get special thanks! 

So yeah... The first week has just been good to us. We’re staying another night here in Horsens and then we’re off to Aalborg, Denmark to play in Studenterhuset. The doors open at 9 pm. I dare everyone who live there or around Aalborg to come and rock with us (yeah!) 

Until next time, 

Bye-bye!
