kimono will play a concert to celebrate the release of their third album Easy Music for Difficult People at the Icelandic Opera on Thursday, the 11th of March 2010. The concert will be the largest that kimono has undertaken yet and will include guest performers of material from their older albums along with a visual display that will make this show a treat for the eyes and ears.

Tickets are available online here: http://midi.is/tonleikar/1/5877

There will be a show at Grand Rokk (yeah... we know... it's been a while) with tamarin/(gunslinger) and the Caterpillarmen on January 21st 2010. We'll be playing material off of our new album "Easy Music for Difficult People". Both of the bands playing with us are up-and-coming bands from the Reykjavik scene with a penchant for some prog-ishness. So it should be a lot of fun. See you there.

EM4DP is kimono's third studio album and their first album of all new material since Arctic Death Ship, which received 5 stars in Morgunbladid when it was released in late 2005. Since then, kimono has moved to Berlin, returned home, lost a bass player, and emerged on the other end of it all stronger and more focused than ever. You might say that kimono has flown "under the radar" for the past few years, but this album is going to get in everyone's face like a psychic on uppers.

The album is available for pre-release on www.gogoyoko.com here:

kimono and Bloodgroup will be headlining a show at Sodoma Reykjavik on Friday, November 27th. Prins Polo will open the show.

Both kimono and Bloodgroup are releasing albums this month. kimono is releasing Easy Music for Difficult People on Kimi Records and Bloodgroup is releasing their new record "Dry Land" on Record Records in the beginning of December.

The show starts at 11:00 and goes into the night. Prins Polo starts, then kimono and then Bloodgroup will take the party somewhere.

Því er yfirskrift tónleikanna Náttúra // Ísbjarnablús og tekið skal fram að ekkert samráð var haft við Bubba þegar kom að skírn tónleikanna.

kimono will be heading out on a short tour in late April, early May this year. We will be starting off with a show as part of the Bad Taste show that is happening at the Palais des Beaux Arts, also known as Bozar. This mini-festival will be curated by Einar Örn Benediktsson (of Ghostigital) and Sjón (a renowned Icelandic poet). There will be plenty to see and do at the Bozar event so please do come and check it out if you'll be in Brussels at the end of April.
