LIVE PERFORMANCE | PICK OF THE DAY "Gus Gus"

Location: Iceland Airwaves Music Festival 2015 | Reykjavik, Iceland

Artist : Gus Gus
Genre : Electronic
Location: Kex Hostel
Band Origin: Reykjavik, Iceland
Date of Event: November 5'th, 2015
Mentionable Broadcasts : KEXP Live, 90.3 FM

This absolutely amazing band coming from the mecca of modern music Reykjavík, Iceland
is filled with lush analogue synth basslines and soundscapes, covered on top of that, amazing vocal performances from Daníel Ágúst Haraldsson and Högni Egilsson.

The band initially formed in the year of 1995 as a film and acting collective, they became mostly known for its electronic music and gotten to be more popular when they split and formed new line up shown in the picture below

Even though band genre officially falls simply under just Electronic, don't be fooled to think so, this band's repertoar is layered in diversity of genres that keep dynamically changing and growing into each other from the far 1995.

Ranging from Trip Hop and Electro Pop to Alternative Dance and House/Techno. To say it is just Electronic music is just an oversimplification, and even though in theory it is true, it is never actually true for Icelandic Bands is it?

Iceland has been producing some outstanding music in the last decade and it is still doing so., and will keep doing so. Proving that isolation isn't always bad in the world.
