Iceland Airwaves Festival

Alright, crazy as this may sound it is true. I have just won a trip out to Iceland for the Iceland Airwaves music festival happening 3 weeks from now. All i did was watch The Still's video and answer a question and now apparently i'm off to the great white north! My question here is….the festival is loaded with oodles of Icelandic bands I have never heard of. The list of artists is on the webiste www.icelandairwaves.com/ If any of you have suggestions as to who I should check out while over there let me know, I'll give full report when I get back. BTW i'm already planning on trying to catch Sahara Hotnights, Singapore Sling, The Bravery, The Stills, The Shins, Keane, and Tenderfoot.
Congratulations!
That is great!

wow, that is so cool!

i've heard yourcodenameis:milo is good, but i haven't actually heard anything by them.
Magnet (aka Even Johansen) - very good.

Adem is boring unless you like a sort of British Will Oldham.

Hood are good too but be aware that they would be very boring for some. Kind of like a British Boards Of Canada but less Electronic.

Hey, apparently, I'm playing too! :D
