Sydney Trio Win Slot On Icelandic Music Festival, Time In Sigur Ros's Studio

Sydney indie pop trio Middle Kids have won an experience of a lifetime this week, taking home the grand prize for FBi Radio's Northern Lights Competition.

The young band's win will see them playing alongside blockbuster acts such as PJ Harvey, The Internet and Of Monsters & Men at Iceland Airwaves Music Festival in November this year, as well as picking up studio time at Sigur Ros's Sundlaugin Studio. Back home, the band have scored three days at Studios 301, too.

The stoked band said, "We are extremely grateful to the amazing people at FBi for this opportunity. We feel the honour of being picked from this particular group of finalists, all of whom we admire greatly as wonderful artists.

"We can't wait to go on this precious adventure together. We particularly plan to enjoy rocking out with our cousins from the North and working on our nature photography."

The band will be taking to BIGSOUND next week, having just released their second single Your Love last week.
