Sleepless in Reykjavik? You bet!

Some of you may have watched the last season of Sleepless in Reykjavik, a web TV show about (ta-daa!) the Icelandic music scene. The previous season focused more on Icelandic metal and hardcore, because that’s the background of initiator and main man Gunnar B. Gudbjornsson, a.k.a. Sir Gussi. But the new and fresh season, of which the newest show was released just a couple of days ago, aims -like your humble servants here – at portraying all current dynamics in the Icelandic music scene. So the two shows aired so far contain interviews with such illustrious artists as Oli Arnalds, Reykjavik! and the mighty Solstafir.

Here’s the second installment, featuring a certain rock show / video-shoot in a place named Kaffibarinn, so see for yourself if you can spot the Sonic Iceland-boys here:

Here’s what Sleepless in Reykjavik is about, in the words of its maker:

“The new webTV series entitled Sleepless In Reykjavík has been unleashed on the internet. The brainchild of filmmaker and music fanatic Gunnar B. Guðbjörnsson and his music producer / audio whizz brother Hlynur Guðbjörnsson,
“I started the show because I love music,” states Gunnar. “I can’t play or sing a note to save my life but I’m good with visuals so this is my contribution to the scene. My brother on the other hand is one of the most talented dubsteb music composers in iceland so I’m pretty lucky – and envious of course. The show is dedicated to all Icelandic music with no emphasis on any specific genre, just good music from wherever it’s coming from.”
The show will be aired roughly once a month from now on (no specific date) and the SIR crew plan to be a presence at Iceland’s many festivals and backstage at concerts.”

And to give you the full package, here’s the first show of the new series:
