Ég

about

...Do you like Maradona, The Supremes, yourself, Fleetwood Mac or The Beatles? If you do, then Ég should be right up your alley. Groovy sound made up of alluring bass lines, solid drums and dynamic guitar and the Icelandic "þvergrip" combined with Róberts vocals, make a good solid show of rock and roll. Ég was formed somewhere in the year 2002 (band members do not agree when). They ended the year 2002 by releasing their debut album, Skemmtileg lög (Fun Songs, loosely translated). The first single Geitungarnir mínir did well in radio airplay and was somewhat a hit on the national radio. Since then the band has had a slight change in line-up, mainly in the drumming department. In the summer of 2005, Ég released their second album, bearing the humble title of Plata ársins(The Album of the Year). The making of the album was difficult due to lack of financing. The money problems were solved when an old friend and a fan, decided to invest in the band; that friend being no other than Barcelona superstar Eidur Gudjohnsen. The band was so grateful that their songmachine wrote a song in his honour which was a hit on radio and was one of three nominations Ég was granted at the Icelandic music Awards 2005. The other nominations being Album of the year (ironically) and Video of the year. Ég are now working on their third album. Ég are: RÓBERT: vocals, (and instruments)/ ADDI: bass guitar/ ÖRN: guitar/ ANDRI: drums/ BALDUR: guitar User-contributed text is available under the Creative Comm
