When there's a headline that reads any variation of the words "Win a trip to Iceland" I enter, even if it means I have to figure out how to work that copy of GarageBand I haven't touched yet.
Join me in mixing bleeps and handclaps! Here's the details as explained by our friends at IcelandAir, Bang Bang and From Nowhere Records:
THE CONTEST:
The Republic of Iceland has birthed international successes in the musical realm with such acts as Sigur Rós, Múm, Björk, Amiina; and most importantly BANG GANG. It is time to brush up on your Icelandic for, "Where is the bathroom?" or "Please fluff my pillow" because you can enter to win a TRIP FOR TWO TO ICELAND COURTESY OF ICELANDAIR, BANG GANG & FROM NOWHERE RECORDS.
BANG GANG is looking for the best fan remix of "It's Alright" from the new BANG GANG album Something Wrong. To create your remix and enter the contest, visit the links below to hear the original song and download isolated multi-tracks of "It's Alright".
