Event ID: MS63288

Venue: Zilker Brewing

View on Official SXSW

Summary

In 2022, five young men from Iceland, unsure of where their life was going formed a rock band, with the goal of bringing style, fun, dance and catchy songwriting back to Icelandic rock music. Spacestation has in the past couple of years gained a reputation as the country’s most exciting new rock group and its most proliferate live band. Like Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine before them, Spacestation aspire to redefine what noise can be within the context of pop music.  Their music combines inventive use of alternate tunings, guitar strumming and feedback, with the intensity of shoegaze, catchy Krautrock rhythms and the attitude of 60s psychedelia, to create a new, jogging, sonic landscape that makes you waste away insightful nights dancing with strangers.
