Bloodgroup | Bandsalat

Langsam wissen wir es: Island hat mehr zu bieten als ein paar Vulkane, Gletscher und Legenden. Vor allem Musikalisches.

Björk ist wohl noch immer unumstritten eine der bizarrsten Künstlerinnen alive. Aber auch Apparat Organ Quartet, Retro Stefson, FM Belfast und Sigur Rós (und deren Sängers Soloprojekt Jónsi) sind Isländische Musiker, die einiges zu bieten haben. Nicht schlecht, was da an Kreativität anbrandet.
Kürzlich habe ich dann zufällig eine Band, die euch allen gefallen könnte entdeckt. Bloodgroup nennen sich die drei Jungs und das Mädel - und sie kommen... Richtig - aus Island. Grund genug, ihnen ein paar Fragen zu stellen:

How would you classify the music you make?

Dark, moody and danceable electronic pop music.

If it was edible, what kind of fruit would your music be?

It would be a whole basket of fruits, with a few hot peppers thrown in the mix.

The most important CDs/books/films that have inspired your music?

We all have very different tastes in music and art in general. So it's a hard question for us to answer to be able to justify everyone's point of view. In between us We listen to everything from classical to metal and we are equally inspired by everything art related, good and bad.

What did noone ever ask you although you'd love to be asked that question? And what is the answer?

There are so many. But I guess it would be something like what is our favorite effect unit. The answer would probably be Roland Space Echo.

What do you hate most?

Closed minded people. We take great pride in being open to all kind of art forms and ideas.

Is there a band from your hometown that you like and that is probably unknown over here in Germany?

We like the band Vax, they're from Egilsstaðir. They are an old school Rock'n'Roll band, think The Sonic's, the Kinks ect.

If you could choose any place - where would you perform?

Japan... That would be a dream come true for us.

Japan muss erst mal warten. Anfang 2012 gibt's erst mal eine Tour in Deutschland, Polen und der Schweiz. Keep Track of the Dates auf ihrer Website: Bloodgroup.is. Und welche Blutgruppe habt ihr?
