The yearly battle of the marching bands
is taking place on Menningarnótt. The bands will fight to the last note and
most certainly not act in an olympic manner. Bribes, cheating, backstabbing and
nepotism are things that come to mind. The first battle - a few years ago -
took everything too far. After that bloodbath it was agreed upon to minimize
the physical altercation. What happened next was that the animosity grew ... to
an intolerable level. This is an unforgettable show of force. Live music at its
worst. There can only be one winner - taking it all.
