last summer in NYC's Summer Stage series in Central Park they had 3 Icelandic Bands performing.

Singapore Sling have a retro-funkadelic groove goin’ on and were recently cited by SPIN magazine as one of Iceland’s brightest young rock hopes. Their US debut album released on Stinky Records, “The Curse of Singapore Sling,” will be unveiled with the band’s first US tour this summer.

Apparat Organ Quartet, currently recording their first album on TMT Entertainment, create strangely beautiful machine rock on ancient highly-customized electric music machines, including cheap home organs and Russian synthesizers.

Trabant, on Thule Records, have been hailed as, “Reykjavik’s most interesting new band,” by Neil Strauss of The New York Times. The band describes their sound as, “a blend of robot technology and what we humans still have to offer music.”

There is a popular music festival in Reykjavik (Rvk) at the end of summer, that lots of people flock to from all over the world.

I have lots of Icelandic friends (no Bjork isn't one of them) and hopefully will make it to Iceland this summer.
