Re: Bjork
Björk To Special Guest At Iceland Airwaves
Björk has been added to the lineup of performers set to appear at 2011's Iceland Airwaves along with another slew of hometown performances for this Icelandic pop star.
At the festival, which takes place October 12-16, Björk will be performing new tracks, soon to be released on her upcoming Biophilia album. The show will include 24 female backing vocalists, an array of hand-crafted instruments, and a bespoke digitally-controlled pipe organ. This last instrument is "a 30 foot pendulum that harnesses the earth's gravitational pull to create musical patterns." So yeah, naturally Björk has one of those.
The other bands on the billing include Beach House, Tune-Yards, Austra, SBTRKT, and many more that you can check out at the festival's webpage.
So if you happen to be in Iceland at the time, or are just ready for a vacation, make plans to see Björk and her crazy happenings. Oh, and get there early. First 400 get in free!
