The PA was angry that day my friend…

and then,

and then,

Hello all, as you can see, this is almost a fully functioning website… The wonders will never cease I assure you.

Thank you Yann Novak for being patient with me. As you can see there is still a way to go, mostly my fault- vital information needed in several instances, nonetheless, it will happen eventually. The last few months have actually been a flurry of activity, some of which I will “try” to stay better of top of telling you about.

I hope some of you will be happy to see new live dates for May/June, some of those shows are actually a double bill with my dear friend Valgeir Sigurðsson who many of you will probably know is seven-kinds-of-brilliant.  I hope you can come along (excuse the very minimal info on the calendar too, we´ll get there).

I write to you from a coastal town called Jan Juc, right next door to the infamous Bells Beach on the south coast of Australia, which, incidentally is a stones-throw from the little house I penned Steel Wound in all those years ago. Its funny, but I honestly believe that if I was to pick up a guitar at this moment my hands would find those very same chord shapes and melodies again, as if somehow led there by these powerful surroundings.

…and finally, yes, its done: By The Throat, my new album, will be released on Bedroom Community in the Fall.
Thanks, bf

For those unfortunate enough to have not seen Mortal Engine yet, here on the wonderful internet we found this kind of preview video which shows some highlights from the piece.enjoy.

To give you a taste of what’s Bedroom Community will be up to at Iceland Airwaves 2008 we invite you to a very special and intimate one-night-only performance from composer Ben Frost.

Frost has spent the last year or so creating the follow up to his acclaimed 2007 LP Theory of Machines, an album lauded by the local and international community, referred to, among other things as “…the future of electronic music” and Ben himself as “…one of the most interesting and groundbreaking musicians in the world today”.

Frost will be accompanied by Iceland Symphony bassist Borgar Magnasson and two brass players - exclusively sneak previewing a piece from his forthcoming and still as yet untitled second Lp for Bedroom Community. In addition, expect impeccable taste in new music throughout the night from Bedroom Community DJ Mio.

This event is #4 in the series of nights at Kaffibarinn hosted by Bedroom Community, first Wednesday every month.
