Hljómsveitin Boogie Trouble stefnir á að gefa út sína fyrstu hljómplötu í haust, og leitar nú leiða til að fjármagna útgáfuna.

Diskóboltarnir í Boogie Trouble hafa vakið mikla lukku hvar sem þau hafa komið við undangengin misseri með dansvænni, fjörugri og ferskri popptónlist í diskódressi. Sveitin var stofnuð síðla árs 2011 og hefur síðan þá unnið sér prýðilegan orðstír og víðast hvar heillað tónleikagesti sína upp úr sætum og yfir á dansgólfið. Nú síðast lék sveitin sjö sinnum á Iceland Airwaves hátíðinni, ávallt fyrir fullu húsi og við svo mergjaða stemmningu að áheyrendum lá við beinkrömum.

Sveitin státar af einvalaliði íslenskra tónlistarmanna og kvenna, en hana skipa Klara Arnalds, Ingibjörg Elsa Turchi, Sindri Freyr Steinsson, Sigurður Tómas Guðmundsson, Kristinn Roach, Sunna Karen Einarsdóttir og Arnar Birgisson, auk þess sem Helga Ragnarsdóttir hefur átt fastan sess.

Boogie Trouble have spread joy into the hearts of Reykjavík concert goers in the last couple of years and now hope to realise their dream of completing their debut album.

Founded in 2011, the Disco Sweethearts of Boogie Trouble have invariably managed to get people from their chairs to the dancefloor with their upbeat disco-inspired pop songs. Most recently they performed 7 gigs (in 4 days) during Iceland Airwaves music festival to general and critical acclaim.

The band includes members from all corners of the Icelandic music scene. Boogie Trouble’s members are Klara Arnalds, Ingibjörg Elsa Turchi, Sindri Freyr Steinsson, Sigurður Tómas Guðmundsson, Kristinn Roach, Sunna Karen Einarsdóttir, Arnar Birgisson and Helga Ragnarsdóttir.

Last summer the band went to the former Sigur Rós studio, Sundlaugin to record their debut album, which is intended for release in late 2014. A lack of funding has slowed the progress down severely, and now the band is seeking all possible ways to fund the project to completion.

They have therefore decided to pre-sell the album through crowdfunding to get the remaining amount needed to cover what is left of the recording and production process. They would greatly appreciate anything you can contribute.

You can pre-order the album on CD or Vinyl or support the project by purchasing a variety of packages, fresh from the Boogie Factory.

”The band’s funky basslines and toe-tappin’ beats may leave you stricken with long-eradicated disco fever.” - KEXP blog, Nóvember 2013

“Enchanting, sassy and super Joyful” - Clash Magazine, Ágúst 2013

“While their sound is notoriously American, their lyrics are decidedly Icelandic, creating a sort of alternate universe experience that lends a new appreciation to a genre I previously loathed. So not surprisingly, their set at KEXPort was again one of my highlights.” - KEXP blog, Júlí 2013

“Boogie Trouble were playing for the sixth time on Saturday evening. And boy did they not seem tired at all. They came on stage ready to boogie and gave the show everything they had. As soon as they started playing, the audience started dancing along.” Reykjavík Grapevine, vefútgáfa 3. nóvember 2013

"There is a dangerous line that can be crossed when playing funk or disco, but their strong songwriting and musical craftwork bring the energy and fun of that era while leaving behind any unintentional signs of gimmick." - Ragnarbastiaan.com, nóvember 2013

“Síðasta atriði kvöldsins voru diskóboltarnir í Boogie Trouble sem hljóta að vera eitt mest grúvandi band á Íslandi um þessar mundir. Ingibjörg tók bassann í göngutúr og gítarinn minnti á útúrkókað diskófönk úr klámmyndum frá öndverðum áttunda áratugnum. Þau lokuðu kvöldinu með stæl en mig þyrsti í meira.” Straum.is 7.11.2012
