Folk rock band The Viking Giant Show started as a solo project by Heiðar Örn Kristjánsson a few years ago and is now a four-piece band with a mostly acoustic, socially conscious sound. Kristjánsson was a guitarist and singer in the award-winning band Botnleðja (Icelandic for “silt”) for 11 years prior to forming The Viking Giant Show. Their new album “The Lost Garden Of The Hooligans” is out now on the oh-so-Icelandic-sounding Cod Music label. Check out music from TVGS on their myspace page at www.myspace.com/thevikinggiantshow, or download the album on Iceland’s version of iTunes, tonlist.com.
