Þoka

Sometimes you're in one of those moods...the one where you've spent the last 12 hours in meetings and putting out fires realize it's 1am and...oh crap, it's Thursday and I forgot to write today's article!

After sifting through a bunch of music that just was not doing it for me, I stumbled across this live performance from Þoka (which I believe means Fog), and thought, well this is just what the doctor ordered...that, and a glass of whiskey. But I digress, just kick back and enjoy Agnes Björgvinsdóttir's lovely voice and realize it's a good day.

Fog band was formed in early 2012 by guitarist and keyboard TryingHauksson A world Klemenz actor's son. Then wanted to try something newafter having been in rock bands and decided to establish a different band.Before long way Björgvinsdóttir Agnes joined the group and it was obviousthat the band was fullmannað.
The original goal of fog was involved in Músiktilraunum they did and ended up in the second place with the work of an individual award for Singer músikexperiments and Keyboard músik experiments.
New targets fog is playing great and wide, publicly and unofficially, continuewith the process and develop.

And because I love the way the Icelandic language looks, here's the original.

Hljómsveitin Þoka var stofnuð í ársbyrjun 2012 af gítarleikaranum Reyni Haukssyni og hljómborðsleikaranum Heimi Klemenzsyni. Þá langaði að prufa eitthvað nýtt eftir að hafa verið í rokk hljómsveitum og ákváðu því að stofna öðruvísi hljómsveit. Áður en langt um leið bættist Agnes Björgvinsdóttir í hópinn og var þá auðséð að bandið var fullmannað.
Upphaflegt markmið Þoku var að taka þátt í Músiktilraunum sem þau gerðu og höfnuðu í 2. sæti ásamt því að vinna einstaklings verðlaun fyrir Söngkona músiktilrauna og Hljómborðsleikari músiktilrauna.
Ný markmið Þoku er að spila mikið og víða, opinberlega og óopinberlega, halda áfram með ferlið og þróast.
