In an old classroom in Reykjavík's old downtown children's school there was a not so old teacher devoted to teach children the ways of the musical world. He let them explore the musical regions of the world and let them choose instruments to play, 7 of these children had an exceptional talent though, playing various events for the school, around the town and finally a public debut at the 2006 Iceland Airwaves festival, then 14, 15 and 16 years old. Since then the band has played a big part in the Reykjavík music scene, playing regularly all around the city.
Retro Stefson's music has been described in multiple ways, the words surf, latin, jazz, afro and pop pop up most frequently - with the members hailing from various countries it's no wonder the influences are so many - but let's not get tangled up in genres. The main thing is that the music is fun, youthful and refreshing.
Hopefully the band will finish recording and release their debut fulllength sometime in 2008, but until then try and catch the band at a local reykjavík venue!
