Nice Meeting

Posted on Saturday 24 June 2006

Yesterday night (Friday) I had few drinks with 2 mates from the work. We’ve been in a strange place called SirkusSirkus Bar. The place is actually weird. The decoration is funny: you can site on Bus’ chairs if there is not enought place in the attic upstairs. People in there are more likely artists and thus wearing some incredible cothes. If you steal a dress from your grandma and add a mickey mouse hat, you’ll probably not be noticed in the place and fit perfectly the customers. To sum-up, that’s a funny place to chat and rest a bit. I was listenning to one of my friends talking, looking vaguely around when suddenly I freezed ! I was looking to a guy that really really reminded me something. Impossible to remember him though. I was like: "Shit, I know that guy but I have no idea from WHERE !!?¤##" I told the people I was with about that guy, telling them that he reminded me someone I know from somewhere. One of my friends finally put an end to my thought. "Yes of course, It’s Barði Jóhannson from the band Bang Gang, I’m working for him. We try to sale his new album in France and Canada". Wow, I discovered Bang Gang last year on the internet by chance and I definitly fell in love with the music. This Icelandic pop-group has been critically acclaimed both in Iceland and other European countries. Bang Gang Front coverThey received awards for their work and played in festivals and famous venues in many countries. You might have not heard of them, but if any of you have poped in my place last year should have heard their last album. The guy finally noticed my friend and came sitting with us for a while. He’s really nice. Suprisingly the 33 years old man is really shy and didn’t speak a lot. We haven’t stayed there for long. Night was coming — ( No I’m kidding :D ). Anyway, I’d really like to make you discover Bang Gang. I’ve put 4 of my favorite songs from the album "Something Wrong’ in ‘My music’ If you like it, tell me and I’ll send you the album !

    Thanks ! You can just book it and give me a date. My door is open.

    Moaz: Lol, the guy is not famous, I’ve never met anyone who knows his band yet ! Besides, he has hard time selling his discs. But I’m sure fame is not far.
