It dawned on me when retrospectively reviewing The Guardian preview of the 2010 edition of the Iceland Airwaves festival. And that despite it being the wrong time of year for an epiphany. A joke there, borne of a Methodist upbringing.
Each of the five bands profiled in the preview were artists I had seen at Airwaves the two previous years. Had the journalist mistakenly submitted his 2008 festival preview to the Editor? Or the Editor mistakenly published the 2008 festival preview? Surely not. A respected publication, the Consumer publisher of the year, no less, couldn't be capable of such a glaringly obvious oversight.
How, then, are people to find out about the great Icelandic bands filling the smaller venues and footing the bills at Airwaves 2010, I thought?
So I take it upon myself to introduce to you a new band or artist every week, or every month, or as I feel like it, or as I get around to it. I expect there are a whole heap of these things online these days, so well done for finding this particular one. I hope you enjoy it.
