Ultra Mega Technobandið Stefán

Ultra Mega Technobandið Stefán (UMTBS) was formed in the year 2006 after few of the bandmembers have had nonstop experiments with cheap music programs for about a year. Following they were the runners up in the national battle of the bands and gained a lot of attention for their feel good, vintage electric techno. In October of the same year they played at Iceland Airwaves and created a scandal in the Icelandic scene with their over the top performance and stage presence at Club Pravda, now inspired by way rougher influences. UMTBS spent the year 2007 touring through Europe. They played at various festivals such as By:Larm in Norway, G! Festvial in the Faroe islands, The Iceland airwaves festival 07 and Rock Ness in Scotland among bands like Daft Punk and Chemical Brothers. That same year they released their hit song ,,Story of a star’’ which remained on radio top lists for a about a year in Iceland. UMTBS released their debut album ,,Circus’’ which gained a huge media attention worldwide when it appeared at the front of the Myspace home site in the ,,Myspace album premiere’’ feature in about 12 countries. A month later the video for their song ,,3D Love’’ appeared on the ,,Myspace exclusive’’ premiere and gained no less attention then the album one month before. UMTBS also did a experimental tour with an actual norwegian circus called ,,Circus Agora’’ for about a week. At the moment, UMTBS are working on some new material. The music video for their new hit song ,,Fiasco Graffiti‘‘ have been nominated for the best music video at the Northern wave film festival and have broken old records regarding playtime in radio, television etc. So have their two latest singles, ,,Twisted up“ and ,,Zoo in sight“ UMTBS are known for their exciting, electric, to the edge stage presence. Their music have been described as if Jean Michel Jarre was being strangled by vintage Nintendo controllers.
