Trabant (band)
Encyclopedia : T : TR : TRA : Trabant (band)
Trabant is an electronic-pop/rock band from Reykjavík, Iceland. They are known for their raw but powerful music and some amazing live performances.
Trabant style is a blend of electronic music, a punky flavor of R&B and pop. Trabant released their debut "Moment of Truth" in 2001, giving a glimpse into the future. Then moving away from its studio-based focus, Trabant has since developed a pompous live attitude. An electronic five piece group playing for their lives, and giving everything they have -- musically and morally. But first and furthermost Trabant strives to make honest pop music for the people.
Trabant's five members come from very different backgrounds in the Reykjavík scene: One rap producer with the sailors blood pumping; a death metal guru, a champion turntableist; a rockabilly preachers son and an over the top performance artist.
Together, all these influences explode in the mighty Trabant.
