Skakkamanage was formed in 2003 by newlyweds Svavar and Berglind and their friend Tony.
Their debut album, “Lab of Love”, began as a bedroom project but quickly transformed into a mad circus that has taken Iceland’s main music venues by storm.
The album’s rave reviews have provoked a lot of curiosity in the band.
Skakkamanage manage in their own sincere way to bridge the gap between melancholy and boundless joy and possess an unheard sound which listeners are usually very grateful to hear.
