This is one of the best band I´ve seen live. They really look like they enjoy playing together. A great entertainment and an unbelivable live band. A wonderfull combination of mellodic pop and raw blues rock. A must see ! - Ágúst Bogasson -Radiopresenter at Rás2 National Radio


"Cheerful blues that works!"

Album review: B.Sig – Good Morning Mr. Evening (four stars)
Cheerful blues that works!
As B.Sig, Bjarki Sigurdsson has released his first album named Good Morning Mr. Evening. The music is raw and simple blues-rock that is free from sounding pretentious or over produced.
Ballads can certainly be heard among with other upbeat tracks, but the albums concept in whole is very good and flows quite naturally. The instrumental performance from the band is perfect – it gives Bjarki´s songs the depth that they require, without a tight, experienced band the songs probably wouldn't enjoy themselves as they do.
The mood on the album is still what I find to be most entertaining, behind the music you can hear the band calling at each other, which sort of underlines the fact that they really gained pleasure from their work.
Fortunately, the albums sound editing has been kept to a minimum, so the songs sound a bit raw. This works in their favor, making their performance sound more honest.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Bjarki is a sophisticated songwriter. He seems to be able to bounce of melodic song arrangements in a similar way that Bob Dylan does. My favorite song at the moment is "You could be my..." which is a classic blues song with honky-tonk piano added.
I strongly recommend that people introduce themselves to B.Sig and grab a copy of this album. It seems to me that he is here to stay.

Bio

"This is the best live band I´ve seen in a long time" -Ólafur Páll, radiopresenter at Rás2 National Radio.

The history of the group started in Liverpool,UK, in 2005. The leadsinger Bjarki Sigurdsson was studying in Liverpool at the SAE Institute where he met bass player Ingi Ingason. They became good friends and started to exchange musical ideas. After coming back home to Iceland in 2006, Bjarki then got in touch with the brothers, Börkur Hrafn and Daði Birgisson who had just quit in their band, called Jaguar. The brothers, already with high reputation in the Icelandic music community, founded Jaguar in early 90's. Jaguar was a very succeful funk-band in Iceland, and also played internationally. They played for example in the famous Jazz-café in London and also in Central park NY, they also did a warming up session for James Brown and Maceo Parker. Jaguar was also the first band to be signed up by Freestyle Records in UK and had a song on Acid Jazz UK record. The brothers decided to leave their baby, and change musical direction. It turned out to be a perfect timing. After Bjarki had introduced the guys to couple of homerocording demos, there was no turning back. The drummer Kristinn Snær, from one of Iceland's most successful band at the time, Hjálmar, was added to the band. It was the final puzzle and some studio sessions later, they had already recorded their demo album.
After their recordings were mastered by the Grammy Award Winner and highly respected Mr. Bob Katz, the band got an independent label contract and released their debut album, Good Morning Mr. Evening, in 2007. The record received excellent reviews from critics in Iceland and reached to nr. 3 in the charts, despite no commercial campaign what so ever. The record led to live gig series, and the band quickly became known as one of Iceland best live bands around. The band is now planning their next album and are already in their studio. The first single of the new album, Evening brakes/ All is lost, has already had several air play time, including at Iceland’s most popular radio station, Rás 2. They are curently playing numerous of gigs around Iceland and are now ready to let the world hear a little bit more.
