A concert featuring some of Iceland's most prominent and innovative bands will be held tomorrow night at the Iðnó theatre by the city pond. The artists playing are Apparat Organ Quartet, Flís, Benni Hemm Hemm, Paul Lydon, Kira Kira and Hilmar Jensson. The concert is held as a kind of "warm-up" as the aforementioned bands go on tour in Japan from November 27 to December 7.
" Japanese people seem to be really interested in Icelandic music. We are really excited about going there and finding out how they like our music," says Úlfur Eldjárn, member of Apparat Organ Quartet. " This is also something that we in Apparat really appreciate. We love keyboards and have had a lot of contact with Yamaha. It's a kind of Yamaha pilgrimage for us," he says, as the band intend to visit Yamaha's headquarters in Tokyo.
Iðnó will open at 22.00 tomorrow night and tickets cost 1.200 kronas at Tólf Tónar or 1.500 kronas at the entry.
