NEWS Bloodgroup Arriveth
4th February 2008 Artist Profile »

Icelandic discopop enthusiasts Bloodgroup are set to play Club Fandango at 229 on Feb 20th and you WILL dance. They were such a hit at Eurosonic, it was impossible to get in the tent... er, unless you were already in the tent that is. Obviously.

"Bloodgroup sound like they should be a heavy metal outfit, but here's the news: they most certainly are not. Rather, this Icelandic quartet deal in glitchy new-rave pop, the kind that should, in theory, ensure they're snapped up to some cash-happy major looking for the next Klaxons by the time you read this. Their sweaty set in NASA reminds us of Hadouken! fronted by a younger, geekier Madonna - in other words, they ain't that original but all their songs are a) about sex and b) riddled with filthy electro beats. They prove to be DiS's guilty pleasure of the festival." - DiS @ Iceland Airwaves 2007
