THIS WEEK'S FEATURED CLIENT - Icelandic Artists

Ólafur Arnalds – ReykjavÃÊk, Iceland
Genre: Classical, Indie, Electronica
http://arielpublicity.net/clients/2599

At only 21 years of age, Ólafur Arnalds is Iceland's latest export. Having already sold out The Barbican Hall in London, toured major European festivals and having opened for Sigur Rós on their most recent European tour, the future seems bright for this young, extraordinary talent.

MAMMÚT - ReykjavÃÊk, Iceland

Genre: Pop, Rock
http://www.arielpublicity.net/clients/2583


Mammút is an Icelandic band that has been playing since late 2003. They’ve released 2 albums, “Mammútâ€ð and “Karkariâ€ð. The sophomore album, Karkari, was nominated for the “Best albumâ€ð at the Icelandic musibac awards 2009.

Sunna Gunnlaugs - ReykjavÃÊk, Iceland

Genre: Jazz
http://www.arielpublicity.net/clients/2579


The Washington Post described her music as possessing “such timeless virtues as lyricism and grace… elegantly bridges soul-searching passages with uncluttered swing.â€ð On her latest CD, "Songs from Iceland" she confirms that assessment by re-imagining 5 Icelandic folk-songs for jazz quartet, adding new perspective to Time Out New York's statement that Gunnlaugs is “proof that jazz is as much a part of the picture as the pop of Björk or SigurRos.â€ð Her next recording is scheduled for June in New York amidst US tour-dates.

Check us out on St. Paul Neighborhood Network Channel 15 and Minneapolis Television Network. We will produce one episode per month that will air four times each month (once a week). We're launching a new website this summer! 

 

Q: What are your favorite blogs/audio blogs featuring new music do you like to visit?

A: The Syndicate
http://www.thesyn.com/blog/

The Syndicate is an independent music and entertainment marketing company in New Jersey. It is a great site to hear about upcoming music releases and events. They cover an eclectic mix of music genres. Whenever I check out the site, I know I will discover something fresh.

Nylon Magazine,
http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=blog

Nylon is a fusion of music, pop culture and fashion. I can’t stop reading the blog, because the images are pure eye candy. Bright and colorful. I always look forward to reading the music reviews. It is a wonderful indulgence.

The Current,
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/music_blog/

The Current is a staple for any hip, young music lover in the Twin Cities. What I love most about The Current is the element of surprise. They keep you guessing. You may hear a classic Al Green song followed by Lady Sovereign’s latest single.

Q: What inspired you to start the site?

A: My best friend and I took a roadtrip to Pennsylvania to see one of our favorite bands. We managed to get front row for the concert. Looking around seeing the excitement and feeling the energy of the crowd, the lightbulb went off. This is what people want to see. They want to get closer to their favorite musicians and bands. We can help give them the access. We want to show viewers what keeps their favorite musicians motivated and drives the passion behind the music..

Q: What do you think is the impact of blogs, internet radio, and podcasts on independent music?

A: Blogs, internet radio and podcasts have made the music industry a more level playing field for independent artists. Promotion is crucial to succeeding in the business. These tools are providing a way for up-and-coming artists to get their music out there. It shows you promotion doesn’t have to be expensive to be effective. With a little determination, independent artists can really make a name for themselves.

Q: When you started your station, did you anticipate that blogs would have such an upscale trend as it does now?

A: When we started the show, social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace were popular. I felt it was a powerful tool for marketing, because you could reach a large amount of people quickly and inexpensively. I think blogs are appealing, because people enjoy hearing about the lives of others. I think we like being nosey. I’ll admit it, I love being nosey! It’s a journalist’s job to be nosey, right?

Q: What are the ultimate goals you wish to achieve through your site?

A: We want to open viewers eyes to artists they may have never given a shot. We cover a wide variety of music genres. Sometimes we only listen to what we know we like, because it’s safe. So we won’t be disappointed.  If we opened up, we might find something that totally transforms the way we think. Just working with other crew members has opened my eyes to new artists. It’s such an exciting feeling to discover new music. Our major goal this summer is to launch a new official website. Please, check out http://www.myspace.com/pluggedinonspnn for updates!
