Like fellow Vikings, artists, DJs, and quirk-rockers Eirik Glambek Boe and Erlend ÿye of Kings of Convenience, Bardi Johannsson persists in being a hyphenate of performance. The lead singer of Icelandic surfer-songsters the Bang Gang, Johannsson is on a tour of the United States that showcases his tune-mixing abilities. The Bang Gang had an art-school hit with the single “So Alone,” a mostly computer-generated anthem, which bodes well for Johannsson’s estimated keyboard chances. For further disassociative confusion, the performance has no Arctic connection whatsoever, being instead a benefit for the Miami Latin Film Festival.
