Release Notes:
The band Lokbrß started initially in the year 2000 and consisted of drummer ╙skar
and keyboard player Baddi who actually thougth he was a guitarist at that time.
The two young men sougth out for all sorts of talent and had tried at least 15
musicians on numerous rehearsals but nothing worked up. Then another young guy
named Trausti quit his old band and was musically marooned until the two other
young men discovered that. Then through Irc (internet relay chat) on a lonely
channel they invited Trausti into the band. Trausti accepted their offer and then
the band started their long way to what they are today.
For some time the band was just a name and nothing happened until the Icelandic
band Sigur r≤s went on a tour and Lokbrß borrowed their studio for rehearsals.
That was a good time and the guys had great fun. Then from that studio, to garage
from garage, from factories and all sorts of weird places the band continued.
Rehearsing and writing their own material.
There were other people that tried to play with Lokbrß and the band┤s biggest
problem was a bassplayer. They needed one, and one guy knew that they needed one.
He said one day "im coming for a rehearsal this evening, its nonnegotiable" So he
came and at that rehearsal the band wrote their most famous song. Nossirah
Egroeg. That guy that wanted to come was Oddur a.k.a Spike and at that point the
band was perfect and still remains the same today. Almost two years later.
Then the band rehearsed and played a few gigs and eventually competed in
M·sφktilraunir 2003 which is like The battle of the bands. Lokbrß got nothing
that year but at that point the band started to play every weekends. Every
Thursday and almost everytime for months. People slowly begin to recognize the
name and since they played so much they became what people called "an experience
to see"
Starting on weird sounds with intros, playing through guitars with dictaphones,
falling off stages on Wednesdays and even performing old icelandic folkmusic.
Following all the gigs eventually the band tok a breather and ended in a studio
with Birgir ╓rn Steinarsson and recorded their song Nossirah Egroeg. With chains,
screams, tears and good vibes the band completed the song and sent it to the
media. Nossirah Egroeg was a success, came onto popularity lists and made the
name of the band bigger.
Today Lokbrß just finished their Debut album wich is to be released in april
2005. Their slogan is "never take anything to seriously" With their profound
style, their funny looks and stage performance they are going somewhere, and that
somewhere is everywhere.
