about
Andhéri was an Icelandic band which first appeared in the Icelandic "Battle of the Bands" (Músíktilraunir) in 1997, and lost to Soðin Fiðla (Boiled Violin). The band released it's only album, Fallegir Ósigrar (Beautiful Defeats) that same year on Bad Taste in Iceland. It was nominated as album of the year at the annual Icelandic Music Awards, and lost to Björk's Homogenic. Members included Gunnar Örn Tynes and Örvar Þóreyjarson which a year later formed Múm. Also Guðfinna Mjöll Magnúsdóttir (which was nominated as keyboardist of the year), and Númi Thomasson which recently (as of 2008) has been a member of Borko's live band, as well as being entitled Björk's tour chef. Sources disagree on whether the fifth member was named Eyþór or Einar, the album itself states "Eyþór" but no more information is given. The band also had a song ("Innan grárra veggja") in the Icelandic movie Blossi. The album, Beautiful Defeats, was released in a series entitled "Skært Lúðrar Hljómar". Amongst other albums in that series was Sigur Rós' debut album, Von. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
