A date for your new diary...

I'm hosting the above show of Nordic acts in association with the Icelandic and Norwegian music export embassies. Really excited to see Sudden Weather Change again as they were amazing at Iceland Airwaves (my review) - they're a bit like Hot Hot Heat meets Q and Not U, Burning Airlines, Les Savy Fav and all those frantic-but-fun angular party bands! Have a listen to all the bands on Spotify here.

Thursday, January 21st

Sudden Weather Change (Iceland)

We are happy to announce that Ja Ja Ja will be blasting into 2K10 with another stellar line up of Nordic talent! On January 21st, 2010, at our regular establishment The Lexington, three more excellent bands will be strutting their stuff in a bid to impress the venue's upbeat mix of hipsters, industry insiders and regulars. 

Curated by Drowned in Sound editor and indie rock's man-about-town Sean Adams, the January Ja Ja Ja will showcase indie pop outfit The Leaves, Norway's fuzz-rockers Simon Says No! and dynamic Icelandic troupe Sudden Weather Change.

Iceland

I'm in Iceland this week. Expect photos*, reviews, rubbing it in and wotnot.

Isn't that cheap, beer in minibar is over £3 but Raz reckons he just got a hotdog for under a quid.

Talking at this You Are In Control Conference thingy tomorrow. Curious to hear what gal from Pitchfork has to say for herself. And then Iceland Airwaves gets underway.

* = oh yeah, shoulda remembered my camera.
