Sorry, no new Gbg Spotlight content this week -- I have multiple interviews in progress, but nothing ready for posting just yet. Expect the series to return this coming Saturday.

Teitur
Live @ Health Sunday, Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY, 05/04/08

Seeing as how this was myspace.com/healthsunday" target="_blank">Health Sunday, the rating is obvious. However, for those whom are unaware, Health Sunday consists mainly of playing soccer, and that is just what we did. We were graced this past weekend by the Faroese band Teitur, who, amidst their US tour, could not turn down an opportunity to partake in a match. A lovely day it was, sunny and around 70°F, the the lads did not disappoint. Singer Teitur Lassen had quite the success at the forward position, both assisting and scoring; and bassist mikael Blak was a stalwart in the midfield slot. WIth a majority of the tour to go in support of their new album "The singer" (out soon), perhaps you can coax the band into playing a match -- I don't think it would be too difficult.
