Here's the setlist from the gig in Lichtenau at the Kloster Dalheim, as noted in the program-booklet of the "Wege durch das Land"-Festival, July 10th, 2010l:

01. Nebula
02. Ásinn
03. Kolapot
04. Mambó
05. Hemipode
06. Púsl
07. Over And Again
08. What Are We Waiting For?
09. Sicsak
---
10. Kolapot (again, not noted on the setlist)

The set was amazing, "Ásinn" was as pumping and awesome as I'd imagined and wished for it to be live. The show was at a lenghty shep-stable, right after some readings by for example Sjón, who co-wrote many Björk-songs. He also attended the amiina-gig.

Many people left, as the show was at 10pm and the Festival-day started at 4pm, it also was an exhaustingly hot day, plus the average age was incredibly high (around 50), it was surprising how many young people appeared especially for the show and replaced the aged fugitives. But those who stayed all enjoyed the set and stayed the whole way through, from what I saw from the third row.

I think they played the whole Re Minore EP, "Sicsak" for example is a new (though not that different) version of either "þristurinn" or "tvisturinn". I think I read that the whole EP will appear as reworked versions on the album. They played the new single "Over And Again", which was also sold there. I picked up an extra-copy, if anybody wants it, just send me a private message, I'll mail it to you. They are hand-numbered

"Mambó" is of course the new version of "Ammælis", though it's almost unrecognizable, a whole new song. But the highlight of the set was without doubt the new song "What Are We Waiting For?", a proper 'pop-song' with marvelous singing by María and the whole crew, a really catchy tune and truly beautiful. I just can't wait for the album, it was a nice teaser of things to come. Oh and "Nebula" was a misty intro to "Ásinn".

Since we cheered for so long, they came back for an encore, but sadly they hadn't prepared any other songs, so they played "Kolapot" again. All in all it was a truly great show, I hope the set gets expanded, it was just 60 minutes + encore, but those minutes were neatly filled. They are growing as a band and the two guys add necessary layers to the successful extension of their sound. Hope to see them live again soon.

The set at Field Day was 31 minutes. They played 5 songs and it was pretty damn amazing. Loving the new vocal song with S, M & K sharing the duties.

They've just put up on Facebook they're planning a tour for September.
