And the festival begins.  Reykjavik is once again engulfed in music.  You can hear all types of music as you walk down the street.  Coffee shops, clothing stores, and restaurants all partake in the off-venue part of Airwaves during the day.  Stripped down small sets of not only the Airwaves festival bands, but quite a few other local bands as well.

And at night things were in a full swing, I really enjoy the return to the old feel of airwaves.  Running to and from individual venues and stopping by other venues for a quick listen.  My schedule last night was only 60% followed, but consisted of Cyber, Benny Crespo’s Gang, Ceasetone, Ruxpin, and Högni. 

Photos say a thousand words they say, so for this year’s Airwaves I will just let you look at the pics, and leave the write up for the wrap up.  You can follow me on Facebook for photos, comments, random photos, and band information, or you can see all the photos on Flickr:

and on to day two…
