Of Monsters And Men
The band’s latest escapade will bring them to Australia for their first ever tour on our shores.
Overview
Of Monsters And Men are an Icelandic six-piece who play pretty music inspired by wacky stories. Tales of frontiersmen, whale riders, loneliness and insanity incite their ethereal brand of folky pop, but even the not-so-uplifting adventures are still fun to sing along to.
The band’s latest escapade will bring them to Australia for their first ever tour on our shores. It comes ahead of their Into the Woods EP launch at the end of this year, and subsequent to the rapid rise that transpired in just one year — after winning Iceland’s battle of the bands, Músiktilraunir, in 2010, they earned a slot on Iceland Airwaves festival, and followed that up with the No. 1 hit 'Little Talks' in 2011.
Of Monsters And Men are also good at hosting fun gatherings. Their Músiktilraunir win was celebrated with beer-swilling friends spilling out of their little flat, and in September a quieter gathering to mark their full-length debut My Head Is An Animal required attendees to transform into makeshift monster-humans. Ergo, you don’t want to be missing this show.
