Klak Tik comes from the Faroe Islands, which is quite a unique place. For those who don’t know, it’s an island group located between Scotland and Iceland. Even to this day it’s still part of the kingdom of Denmark. People might be familiar with the folk artist Teitur who is also native to the islands.
Yoyoyo Acapulco are an indie pop band playing cute, quirky ukulele-based pop music with kind of naive and catchy lyrics. You’d think that “Heey, they’re probably from Oslo or Bergen, right?”, but no. These guys are from no other place than Vestre Gausdal. Not your first guess, huh? I can’t help but love their simple, yet extremely catchy tunes.
I play the ukulele a bit myself actually, and these guys are really my main inspiration and the true reason why I started playing. Thanks!
They played at the Øya Festival in 2008, I was there and, despite the fact that the bubble-machine sprayed bubbles in my face the whole time, it was definitely one of the best shows at Øya that year. They played in a tiny tent, without that stopping them from making it a big show. Rather, it was the fact that it was a small, crowded tent that really made the mood.
