Beginning as an idea in the spring of 2005, Thingtak began practicing and writing songs in Hafnarfjordur, Iceland that autumn. All members originate from the north of Iceland.
Thingtak's first record was released on april 8 2006. The album is self-released and the theme takes on the history of the Icelandic society. All 3 members share lyric/song writing credits, as everything composed/written comes from all 3 as a unit. The unique album cover is also designed by members of Thingtak and each copy is bolted together (yes, bolted) and sealed with a paper clip by the band themselves.
The recordings on this site come from the bands 2nd gig, in Akureyri Iceland on November 18, 2005. More songs can be found at http://www.rokk.is/default.asp?Flytjandi_ID=1963&sida=um_flytjanda and http://www.jon.is/mp3/dl.php3?ID=1043 You should check these sites out anyway, managed by Hákon Hrafn Sigurðsson and Magnús Ingi Sveinbjörnsson (rokk.is) and Jón Ólafsson (jon.is) they contain a lot of Icelandic underground music.

It’s been far too long since I last said hello and so much has happened I thought it about time we did.
We’ve changed a lot, now we are an “UltraModern, post-electro rock, post-nu rave behemoth where Muse and Mansun meet a Massive Attack with Duran Duran pop sensibilities, louder guitars, and a stunning female front person/guitar virtuoso”, or so we have been told.
I’d love to know what you’ve been up to since we disappeared into the dark damp studio cave, let us know how it’s going, I’m always up for a chat! May your thoughts be Scarlet and your actions Blonde ;-) Dawn xx Scarlet/blonde
