Æla is an Icelandic band, whose name translates as Puke, or Vomit, whichever you like better. Despite the repugnant name the band is actually delightful, drawing inspiration primarily from Icelandic punk band Purrkur Pillnikk, whose singer later went on to form The Sugarcubes. This punk influence they mix with a dash of humour and crazyness, and their towering lead singer, Halli Valli, is a delight to watch as he balances precariously on wobbly chairs or runs around the venue hacking on his wireless guitar. Now they're about to invade Britain, and I recommend you go see them if they happen to pop up in a venue near you.
The shows announced so far are:
March 26th: Market Tavern, Oxford
March 27th: The Buffalo Bar, London

And here's a video I shot of them in Reykjavik on March 2nd, my first venture into YouTubeness. I shot it in 16:9 widescreen format which was quite beautiful, and YouTube squashed it into 4:3. To see it in decent quality download the .mpg here (47. mb).
