It is true, and has been documented that Sudden Weather Change rose up to the challenge to cover Ghostigital songs at the recent Icelandairwaves Festival. All parties concerned were sure this would be something good, different and challenging. Like all challenges.

And why Sudden Weather Change? They are simply one of our favourite bands.

We are now releasing these 4 songs in the one and only new Ghostigital shop. The online shop will now serve as the ultimate source of entertainment of Ghostigital stuff.

Step on right inside and shop the release of Sudden Weather Change going Ghostigital. Fantastic Results.

the picture is from krems though.

Next move of Ghostigital is doing two concerts in at the Donau Festival Krems in Austria. One with Finnbogi and the other one as core Ghostigital.

Also in May we will be performing in Istanbul at The Morning Line, as specially composed piece. This will be on the 22nd of May. The piece is called Cannibal In Tuxedo [internal-external]

The birthday song for Nylo, the Living Arts Museum, in Reykjavik, as performed on their Birthday tonight in Reykjavik.

The song is done by Ghostigital and Finnbogi Pétursson.

Curver is going west in Iceland and will have an exhibition or installation in this lighthouse in the month of May. The exhibition will though be for the duration of the summer. Here is more information:

“Curver Thoroddsen has reflected his own everyday life in reality performances with the help of the media.

Typical examples of his previous works are projects in which he moved into a new apartment, ate hamburgers every day or went on a diet. The real world, as it appears to most of us, acquires new meaning when transformed to the realm of art and media. Furthermore, Curver has painstakingly manipulated his own identity, asshown by his decision to eliminate his given name and adopt instead the brand name of the international plastic manufacturer “Curver”.

He will exhibit on the westernmost point of Europe, the cliffs of Bjargtangar by Látrabjarg in the West Fjords. Born in 1976, Curver will complete his postgraduate studies in SVA in New York this spring. He has been active on the music scene, in recent years as one of the possessive duo, “Ghostigital”. ” As we did not know!

Further information on Curver and this exhibition can be found on this facebook page.

Treatment is due and well deserved. We have gone through winter, without meeting. We boys actually did meet in December when we did the ATP concert in Minehead. That was now nearly 6 months ago.

We have most of our next record recorded. Hovering Hoover Skates is the first track from the new records. Remember? We do! Got even a video to it

Next step is to mix, and that we will do during the summer. We have a live recording waiting to be mastered by us, that we will do next week. More then then.
