Biography

Gus Gus, Iceland’s leading techno-/soul band saw the light of day for the first time in 1995, during a break in the making of the shortcut “Pleasure”. Initially Gus Gus was as a multimedia collective that combined sexually tinged dance music with visual arts and shorts made by the group’s members.

A self-titled debut album appeared on their Kjól & Anderson imprint in conjunction with the screening of “Pleasure” and immediately caused a buzz on the scene in their native land. Eventually its euphoric grooves and sensual beats reached the demanding ears of UK’s 4AD Records, which signed the band in 1996. After the release of their 4AD debut and second album Polydistortion, the collective started touring relentlessly to a wide acclaim that has been enforced to this day.

They released their eighth album, Arabian Horse, in 2011.

Gus Gus has had a varied lineup, including:

* Birgir Þórarinsson (a.k.a. Biggi Veira or Biggo)
* Daníel Ágúst Haraldsson
* Magnús Jónsson (a.k.a. Blake)
* Sigurður Kjartansson (a.k.a. Siggi Kinski)
* Stefán Árni Þorgeirsson
* Hafdís Huld Hákonardóttir
* Emilíana Torrini Davíðsdóttir
* Urður Hákonardóttir (a.k.a. Earth)
* Magnús Guðmundsson (a.k.a. Herb Legowitz a.k.a. Buckmaster DeLaCruz, The Fox, Fuckmaster, or Herr Legowitz)
* Stephan Stephensen (a.k.a. President Bongo, Alfred More, or President Penis)
* Baldur Stefánsson

Several lineup changes have occurred, and their current incarnation consists of three members (President Bongo, Daniel Agust and Biggi Veira).

    Gus Gus взорвали мой мозг ! они настоящие музыканты , играют на железе , а не приклеивают чужие треки друг к другу на дэке . их вокал не страдает от того что выступление живое , а становится только лучше проникновенней глубже . я думал , что они спопсились , по последним альбомам , но это не так . походу альбомы они выпускают под жесткой цензурой лейбла , а настоящих гус гус можно услышать только в живую . они играли офигенское умное техно . их треки гармонично переливались из нежно-легких в мощно-драйвовые . толпа ревела , топала ногами и хлопала , пока ладони не становились ярко-красными и распухшими . 10 из 10 . + у них был клевый разогрев : парень который пел и играл красивое мелодичное инди .

    @grzee : Because the original track is very long, I only scrobble it as 12' Mix.
