Icelandic Comedians Prepare for Major Weekend Concert

Comedian Auðunn Blöndal is preparing for a major concert this weekend at Akureyrarvöllur, joining forces with Steindi Jr. and Egill Einarsson. The performance is part of the Verslunarmannahelgi, a major holiday weekend in Iceland.

Together, Blöndal, Steindi Jr., and Einarsson form the radio show and musical trio FM95BLÖ. They have a history of releasing popular songs and performing live, including a previous concert at Laugardalshöll. Despite their musical endeavors, Blöndal stated they do not consider themselves a formal band or musicians.

"I think the best word is just 'vibe creators,' and we're not taking ourselves too seriously," Blöndal said. He also touched on the longevity of their radio show, which is now 15 years old, noting that there are no immediate plans for its conclusion. The focus remains on producing engaging content for each upcoming episode.

Blöndal likened their approach to radio to being a "recovering addict," taking it "one day at a time, one show at a time, and making sure it's good." The interview, available in full, offers a glimpse into the personalities behind FM95BLÖ as they gear up for their significant weekend performance.
