It's a beautiful fall day in Reykjavik, and the small northern capitol is buzzing with activity, with bars, venues, shops, and restaurants in every nook and cranny of the city are busy with preparations for Iceland Airwaves Music Festival. While the KEXP broadcast begins tomorrow at 6 AM, you can catch some of the pre-Airwaves festivities live on Facebook. Joining us at KEX Hostel this afternoon are Icelandic yacht-rock outfit Moses Hightower (live at 1:15 PST) and President Bongo with Tilbury (live at 3 PST).
