Þórir Georg

Þórir Georg is a veteran of Icelandic underground, extreme and experimental music. In the last 25 years or so he has pushed his exploration of song and sound further and wider than most would consider sensible. Having made a habit of eschewing all notions of success and careerism in favor of artistic satisfaction he remains lurking in the shadows of the underground.

On his new album “Cheer up” Þórir mixes the influences of 60s psychedelic pop with the experimental lo-fi scene of the 90s to create his own brand of experimental pop music that might appeal to fans of such artists as Harry Nilsson, Daniel Johnston or Syd Barrett.

For the show Þórir will supplement his distinct guitar playing and voice with various gadgets and pre-recorded phantom bands to perform a selection of songs from the new album as well as digging through his extensive back catalog.

Line-up:

Þórir Georg - Guitar, vocals, various things/playback.
