In the world of musical prodigy, arranger, producer, programmer and songwriter Bardi Johannsson (see further info and pictures on special section ), nothing is left to chance yet in the world he portrays everything is chaos. Bang Gang is his chosen vehicle for projecting his dark musical fantasies, where phantoms and ghosts sing in whispers, surrounded by celestially beautiful melodies. It is no coincidence that the only cover he has recorded has been the David Lynch song "In heaven" from the movie "Eraserhead". You wouldn't know it by listening to Bang Gang today, but the group started as a surf-band. Bardi and his friend Henrik Baldvin Bjornsson released a single and a video for their surf-style song "Listen Baby". This promising direction which could have made them the Beach Boys of the Arctic Ocean was never realized as Henrik quit the band and later formed his own band, called Singapore Sling. Meanwhile Bardi, though a great fan of rockmusic, decided to make popmusic on his own terms and started laying out his plans for Bang Gang One of their friends and collaborators in the surf-version of Bang Gang was Esther Talia Casey, an aspiring actress and singer, whose voice Bardi thought was perfect for his songs and he persuaded her to keep on working with him. No sooner had they recorded Bang Gang's first song than it was used on the soundtrack of the Icelandic movie "Blossi 810551". That got the band noticed by local label Sproti, who were making a compilation to showcase new Icelandic music. Bang Gang recorded a song called "Sleep" to be included on the compilation. As a result Sproti signed the band to a record deal and plans were made for an album to be released in the fall of 1998.

At the same time East-West France got interested in the band and signed a contract with Bang Gang and Sproti to release a single in France. Since then an album deal has been made with East-West France. Bardi started worked on the debut album. The first song from the album, "So alone?" was released in the summer for the radio and became an alternative hit in Iceland. A video was made by accomplished director Ragnar Bragason and made it into rotation on nighttime MTV on the strength of the song and video. Bardi has since composed the score and contributed songs to Ragnar's first feature film, "Fiasco". The fact that the video was shown on MTV made waves. Audience requests got the song to the number one spot in the top ten of the most popular alternative radioshow in Denmark. This home page has received many visits from people all over the world as evinced by fanmail from Denmark, France, USA, Sweden and Norway. A South-Korean corporation has used "Sleep" in an advertisement. They are a testament to the power of the new world wide communication net. In 1999 Esther competed for a place in the very selective Icelandic Drama College and was chosen to take part in their three year drama program. Because of the intensity of her studies she decided to curtail her work with Bang Gang. She is still though an active collaborator when time allows. Bardi then recorded two songs with brilliant new singer Vedis Hervor Arnadottir and one song with Lhooq's acclaimed singer Sara Gudmundsdottir, as Bardi felt they complimented Bang Gang's style. He prefers to use female singers as they are a perfect contrast to his own voice. Those songs and older ones will be released on their international debut album in France in October 2000 and will feature remixes by renowned French musician Kid Loco.

You and I
Walk together side by side
Doing all that we want
And we get high, high

You got to live high (live high)
Then you can die
If you have it all
In your heart
No need to crawl
You got to live high (live high)
Then you can die
If you have it all
In your hand
No need to crawl
You got to live high (live high)
Then you can die
If you have it all
In your heart
No need to crawl
You got to live high (live high)
Then you can die
If you have it all
In your heart
No need to crawl

The nights has strange moonlight
It's so confusing
Alone I watch the sky
Tired and breathing

The sea is my best friend
We're always crying
When crawling in the sand
Tired of breathing

The night has strange moonlight
The sea is my best friend
When crawling in the sand
Tired of breathing

Found out you were out
Saying
I´ll see you again

Eyes are deceiving
Some day I´ll find it all out

It´s the time to take it slow
And find out what I don't know

Some day I´ll find it all out

Sleep

Walking in my sleep at night
And you can´t have me
Can´t have me
Ever

Walking in my sleep
So you can´t have me
Disappeared, gone
You have gone out of my dreams

Walking in my sleep
With my flesh in bed
Still you are there
Think you´ll never let me be

Walking in my sleep
So you can´t have me
Disappeared, gone
You have gone out of my dreams

Walking in my sleep
With my flesh in bed
Still you are there
Just get the fuck out of my dreams

Walking in my sleep at night
And you can´t have me
Can´t have me
Ever

Falling apart

He was there
Wanted it so bad
I was lost
My soul had gone insane

What should I be doing ?
What is it you want ?
What will you be doing when I fall apart ?

What should...

I was lost
My soul had gone insane
By myself
wasting all my love

What should...
What should...

Your taking my breath away
Your taking my breath away
Never look back

He was there
Wanted it so bad
I was lost
My soul had gone insane

What should...
What should...

Your taking my breath away
Your taking my breath away
Never look back X4

Evil dream
Evil way
Save the day
Evil dream
Evil way
Save the day

If you go and if you croak
I will take you where to go
If you go and if you croak
I will take you where to go

If you want to be there
I'll be right by your side

Evil dream
Evil way
Save the day
Evil dream
Evil way
Save the day

If you go and if you croak
I will take you where to go
If you go and if you croak
I will take you where to go

If you want to be there
I'll be right by your side

I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there

If you go and if you croak
I will take you where to go
If you go and if you croak
I will take you where to go

If you want to be there
I'll be there by your side
If you want to be there
I'll be there by your side

If you want to be...
If you want to be...

*** Thanx a lot to Aaron for this one ***

Never ever will I wish you bad
Never ever will I crack your head
Never ever do you harm
Never ever eat your heart

I´m in a haze the world is floating
I take a drug the world is floating

Never ever clear my brain
Never ever stop my use
Never ever will I eat your shit
Never ever will I fuck me up bad

I´m in a haze the world is floating
I take a drug the world is floating

Never ever clear my brain
Never ever stop my use
Never ever will I eat your shit
Never ever will I fuck me up bad

I´m in a haze the world is floating
I take a drug the world is floating

Another you

I was sane until you came
Saw your face it was so strange
I could not take it

Ruined me with your disease
Changed my heart and broke my dreams
I could not take it

How can it feel so good to die?

Help me to find another you
Try to understand it

It was a hard time
I could not se
Inside you

Help me...

You are awesome
Flying in my eyes
You are awesome
Flying in my eyes

You are awesome
Flying in my eyes
You are awesome
Flying in my eyes

You must wait
Your life will float away
You must wait
Your life will float away

Why can't life be
as simple as the sun?
(You must wait
Your life will float away)

Why can't life be
as simple as this song?
(You must wait
Your life will float away)

Why can't life be
as simple as the sun?

(Repeat 2xs)

(Most people are like boats
When they're on top
They have something
It doesn't matter
Just forget it right away
They say I will remember...
Just to never let me be )

As simple as this song?

In heaven
Everything is fine
In heaven
Everything is fine
In heaven
Everything is fine
You´ve got your good things
And I´ve got mine

In heaven
Everything is fine
In heaven
Everything is fine
In heaven
Everything is fine
You´ve got your good things
And you´ve got mine

In heaven
Everything is fine

Inside

How can someone feel like we did out there
Have you lost the dream that was in our hands
Is it okey now

How can someone feel like we did out there
Have you lost the dream that was in our hands
Is it okey now

Find me
Inside every heartbeat
Inside every worry
Keep me in your heart again

Find me
Inside every heartbeat (over the hills again)
Inside every worry
Inside your heart

How can someone feel like we did out there
Have you lost the dream that was in our hands
Is it okey now

Find me
Inside every heartbeat
Inside every worry
Keep me in your heart again

Find me
Inside every heartbeat (over the hills again)
Inside every worry
Inside your heart

Follow

Can you feel the sun
Can you feel it burn
Shining alone
Minding it’s own
Blinding my soul
It gets me higher

Now follow me always
Into the sky
Where we reach the stars
Now follow me slowly
Over the stars
Where we reach the sky
Where we reach the sky
Where we reach the sky

Can you feel the sun
Can you feel it burn
Shining alone
Minding it’s own
Blinding my soul
It gets me higher

Now follow me always
Into the sky
Where we reach the stars
Now follow me slowly
Over the stars
Where we reach the sky
Where we reach the sky
Where we reach the sky

I can feel what is wrong

Above all the clouds
Above all the clouds
Above all the clouds

I can’t cry anymore
Can you heal what went wrong
I can’t cry anymore
Can you heal what went wrong
I can’t cry anymore

Help me to feel my soul
Help me to end it all (falling down)
Help me to feel my soul
Help me to end it all
Help me to end it all

Above all the clouds
Above all the clouds
Above all the clouds

It’s alright

I said something wrong
I just can’t hide it
It runs out
And I can’t fight it
It’s alright

I meant nothing bad
I’m just excited
Please don’t cry
I try to fight it
It’s alright

And I was
In your arms
And you were in my arms
And I was
In your arms
And you were in my arms
It’s alright
It’s alright

I meant nothing bad
I’m just excited
Please don’t cry
I try to fight it
It’s alright

And I was
In your arms
And you were in my arms
And I was
In your arms
And you were in my arms
It’s alright
It’s alright

And I was
In your arms
And you were in my arms
And I was
In your arms
And you were in my arms

And you might like what I say
And you might get what you hate
And it’s okey to be right here by you
It’s alright..

There was a whisper

I feel so alone
I feel so cold
I wan’t to fly
Take off to the sky
It’s so cold
It’s so cold
It’s so cold

There was a chill
There was a sound
There was a whisper
That I found
It went along
Searching
It will return while I stay

I feel so alone
I feel so cold
I wan’t to fly
Take off to the sky
It’s so cold
It’s so cold
It’s so cold

There was a chill
There was a sound
There was a whisper
That I found
It went along
Searching
It will return while I stay

There was a chill
There was a sound
There was a whisper
That I found
It went along
Wandering
It will return while I stay
Searching

There was a chill
There was a sound
There was a whisper
That I found
It went along
Searching
It will return while I stay

There was a chill
There was a sound
There was a whisper
That I found
It went along
Wandering
It will return while I stay
Searching

Forward and reverse

You were like a glimpse on to the stars
As we were dancing forward and reverse
One whole day
Under heavy rain
Don’t ever say
That we weren’t happy then

You were like a glimpse on to the stars
As we were dancing forward and reverse
One whole day
Under heavy rain
Don’t ever say
That we weren’t happy then

I miss the times
When everything was coming our way
I wish those times
Would brig us back together some day

You were like a glimpse on to the stars
As we were dancing forward and reverse
One whole day

Find what you get

You can tell me
All the trouble’s gone
Before you reach the sky

You can tell me
All the trouble’s gone
Before you reach the sky

Find what you get there
Find what you get there

You can tell me
All the trouble’s gone
Before you reach the sky

Find what you get there
Find what you get there
Find what you get there
Find what you get there

In the Morning

When you come
In the morning time
Whats on our mind
Whats on our mind ?

On your mind
In the morning

Well you think I have things on you and won’t see
I just can’t let you get away with anything
Why do you cry and scream and shout at me
We try to leave everything till the morning time

We go through
Me and you
Things we ought to understand
About each other

When you come
In the morning time
Whats on our mind ?

On your mind
In the morning

Trying not to lose our heads
In the craze of yesterday
No matter if it’s you or me
We’re gonna have to face this day

Stop! In the name of love

(Diana Ross & The Supremes)

Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After i've been good to you ?
(Think it over) After i've been sweet to you ?

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've known of your
Your secluded nights
I've even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid i'll be losing you forever

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
X 3

Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it over baby...

Everythings gone

You and I were coming down the road like before
You and I were coming down the road like before

All the same words
Feel so down
All the same words
Feel so down

You and I were coming down the road like before
You and I were coming down the road like before

All the same words
Feel so down
All the same words
Feel so down

I feel everythings gone
I feel everythings gone

You and I were coming down the road like before
You and I were coming down the road like before

All the same words
Feel so down
All the same words
Feel so down

I feel everythings gone
I feel everythings gone
I feel everythings gone
I feel everythings gone

Contradictions

All my yesterdays have flown away
And it's better now
It's better now

All my dreams have gone away
And I don't know how
Oh, I don't know how

Lately in my dreams
Maybe all's not really what it seems
Contradictions
Lately in my dreams
I know, wonder what it means
Contradictions

Contradictions

All my yesterdays make sense somehow
Cause they've flown away
It's another day
All my dreams have gone away
Where they went I don't know
It's just so
Lately it's so strange
All has fallen off and gone away
Contradictions
Wonder what it means
It's so...
That's all that it seems

Contradictions

While I'm having fun
I still wonder
When will it be done
Contradictions
It's all fine, and why?
Don't know
Wondering and why...

Contradictions

The World Is Gray

You wake up in the night and you feel
Like everything around you is surreal
You cannot find the day and let go
Off all the things that touch you from within
Off all the things that make you feel so unreal

The world is gray, you're all alone
Maybe if someone helps you know
The emptiness that brings you down
Keeps you searching for the ground
You're searching for the ground

You look up to the light and you feel
How suddenly it's easier to breathe
The echoes of the past fade away
You're happy to believe in another day
You're happy that you’re living another way

The world is gray, you're all alone
Maybe someone helps you home
The emptiness that brings you down
Keeps you searching for the ground

The world is gray, you're all alone
Maybe if someone helps you know
The emptiness that brings you down
Keeps you searching for the ground
You're searching for the ground

The sun keeps shining behind the clouds
And you wait till it burns them down
And you know that you'll find the right one
That's stuck with darkness until it breaks out

The sun keeps shining behind the clouds
And you wait till it burns them down
And you know that you'll find the right one
That's stuck with darkness until it breaks out
Until you break out

The world is gray, you're all alone
Maybe if someone helps you know
The emptiness that brings you down
Keeps you searching for the ground

The world is gray, you're all alone
Maybe if someone helps you know
The emptiness that brings you down
Keeps you searching for the ground
You're searching for the ground
You're searching for the ground

One More Trip

We had fun but there's nowhere to go
No directions, we're here in a row
Came from heaven, we're down on the ground
No more dreams, we have swallowed them all

We had fun but we're pushed to the floor
Nothing last we will always want more
Feeling colder, it's hard to move on
Bitter days toughen the passion long gone

We're shivering, no way to sleep
We're falling deep in crystal seas
We waste our lives to chase a dream
We've burnt the path to what is real
Let's give it a try

One more trip makes us want to go back
To the place that we belong
'Cause there ain't no way
To take out the pain from a crash of coming down

One last trip makes us want to go back
To the place that we belong
'Cause there ain't no way
To take out the pain from a crash of coming down

We had fun but the night became cold
Nothing's left our addiction is all
Feeling colder, it's hard to move on
Bitter days toughen the passion long gone

We're shivering, no way to sleep
We're falling deep in crystal seas
We waste our lives to chase a dream
We've burnt the path to what is real
Let's give us a try

One more trip makes us want to go back
To the place that we belong
'Cause there ain't no way
To take out the pain from a crash of coming down

One last trip makes us want to go back
To the place that we belong
'Cause there ain't no way
To take out the pain from a crash of coming down

One more trip makes us want to go back
To the place that we belong
'Cause there ain't no way
To take out the pain from a crash of coming down

One last trip makes us want to go back
To the place that we belong
'Cause there ain't no way
To take out the pain from a crash of coming down

I Know You Sleep

I can't explain why you're always stuck in my mind
Stuck out of look into my dead eyes
My wings are broken but your head's high
I'm passing the way in my own arms

Run away, disappear in the pale night
Close your eyes, feel the heat from the dark side
Take a chance, make a turn to the flash light
I am yours, you are mine ???

Stay with me
I know you sleep
I cannot breathe
I feel you here
I need you with me

I know you sleep
I cannot breathe
I feel you here
I need you with me

I can't explain why you're always stuck in my mind
Stuck out of look deep in my dead eyes

Run away, disappear in the pale night
Close your eyes, feel the heat from the dark side
Take a chance, make a turn to the flash light
I am yours, you are mine ???

Stay with me
I know you sleep
I cannot breathe
I feel you're here
I need you with me

I know you sleep
I cannot breathe
I feel you're here
I need you with me

Run away, disappear in the pale night
Close your eyes, feel the heat from the dark side
Take a chance, make a turn to the flash light
I am yours, you are mine ???

Stay with me
I know you sleep
I cannot breathe
I feel you're here
I need you with me

I know you sleep
I cannot breathe
I feel you're here
I need you with me

Every Time I Look In Your Eyes

We walk on the grass, the wind is warm
No need to say what's in our hearts
We both know it's never gonna last

I wanna escape, I wanna fight
Instead I just put on a smile
'Cause there's no way I can get out

Falling down
To a different world somehow
Falling down
Can someone help me out
I'm gonna wait until you come
I'm gonna stay inside my walls
Let's pretend nothing's wrong
Hold me now

We lay in the grass, our bodies so tired
You think everything's gonna be alright
You don't wanna know how I feel inside

I wanna escape, I wanna fight
Instead I just put on a smile
'Cause there's no way I can get out

Falling down
To a different world somehow
Falling down
Can someone help me out
I'm gonna wait until you come
I'm gonna stay inside my walls
Let's pretend nothing's wrong
Hold me now

Falling down
To a different world somehow
Falling down
Can someone help me out
I'm gonna wait until you come
I'm gonna stay inside my walls
Let's pretend nothing's wrong
Hold me now

Every time I look in your eyes
I don't know what to do
Every time I have you near me
I don't know how to feel

Every time I look in your eyes
I don't know what to do
Every time I have you near me
I don't know how to feel

Every time I look in your eyes
I don't know what to do
Every time I have you near me
I don't know how to feel

You flew like an angel to me
Then you fell and broke your wings
It was never meant to last
Your were just a ghost from the past

I thought you really could be real
That my heart was ready to bleed
When I walked through pain and fear
You would certainly disappear

You know that I love you, you know what I need
You know that I found you so tender so sweet
We walked through the darkness, we walked in the sun
We shared all our sorrows, we shared all the love

You said that you loved me, you said that you cared
So how could I know I had something to fear
I don’t know where you are, I know that you’re hurt
I should have been able to sense your alert

You came like a stranger to me
And you said you were for real
Though I do know where this would end
I was cold and I needed a friend

I turned on the light so you could see
I was stuck in some other dream
Still my eyes were crystal clear
You came closer and shattered my tears

You know that I love you, you know what I need
You know that I found you so tender so sweet
We walked through the darkness, we walked in the sun
We shared all our sorrows, we shared all the love

You said that you loved me, you said that you cared
So how could I know I had something to fear
I don’t know where you are, I know that you’re hurt
I should have been able to sense your alert

Go, How could you say you wanted to go
When my diamond were starting to grow
When you knew that I wanted you so
You left me alone

You know that I love you, you know what I need
You know that I found you so tender so sweet
We walked through the darkness, we walked in the sun
We shared all our sorrows, we shared all the love

You said that you loved me, you said that you cared
So how could I know I had something to fear
I don’t know where you are, I know that you’re hurt
I should have been able to sense your alert

Forever now

You can see her in the distance
where she walks alone
Then you follow her direction
To your second home

The evening grabs us in the sounds we are bound
We sit and watch the sun moving down
It feels so good to have you around
Wish we could stay forever, have forever now

She has jammed you with suggestions
And you like to know
Why she seduced your inner conscience
Where she wants to go

The evening grabs us in the sounds we are bound
We sit and watch the sun moving down
It feels so good to have you around
Wish we could stay forever, have forever now

We listen to the silence streaming
Memories they take us back to the day we met
Where we ran with kissing
Will we ever have this feeling again

The evening grabs us in the sounds we are bound
We sit and watch the son moving down
It feels so good to have you around
Wish we could stay forever, have forever now

The evening grabs us in the sounds we are bound
We sit and watch the son moving down
It feels so good to have you around
Wish we could stay forever, have forever now
Wish we could stay forever, have forever now

Don't feel ashamed

Bardi :
The night was calm, the lights were down
We heard no sound, we looked like angels
You said that something wasn't right
Your hands were cold, you started checking

Keren :
But I don't know what's going on
If you've been bad what you've done wrong

And you feel ashamed, don't feel ashamed
You feel ashamed, don't feel ashamed
You feel ashamed, dut don't feel ashamed

Bardi :
You looked at me your lips were shy
No way to hide how you were feeling
I thought I heard you say my name
You closed your eyes, and started crying

Karen :
But I don't know what's going on
If you've been bad, what you've done wrong

And you feel ashamed, don't feel ashamed
You feel ashamed, don't feel ashamed
You feel ashamed, but don't feel ashamed

You Won't Get Out

I won't go, I won't show
I won't go, I won't show
I won't go, I won't show
I won't go, I won't show

Everything's true, everything's slow
Everything's gonna be alright here
Everything's true, everything's slow
Everything's gonna be alright here

I won't go, I won't show
I won't go, I won't show
I won't go, I won't show
I won't go, I won't show

Everything's true, everything's slow
Everything's gonna be alright here
Everything's true, everything's slow
Everything's gonna be alright here

Everything's true, everything's slow
Everything's gonna be alright here
Everything's true, everything's slow
Everything's gonna be alright here

You won't get out
You won't get out
You won't get out...

Whisper in my dream to you
I want you closer to me
Can you see the raindrops fall
They are the tears of my eyes

Watching you go far away
I want you closer to me
How does it feel to be, Yeah
On the other end of the world

In washes the rain[?]
I dream of you
In washes the rain[?]
I dream of you

*** Thanx a lot to Aaron & Juliet for this one ***

I'm on my way to end it all
It's driving my mad
My eyes are dry, My mind is gray
Nothing inside
Comming to see you
I'm on my way

I'm on my way to end it all
It's driving my mad
My eyes are dry, My mind is gray
Nothing inside
Comming to see you
I'm on my way

My eyes are dry, My mind is gray
Nothing inside
An empty mind, With empty eyes
Look at me now
I'm on my way
I'm on my
I'm on my way
I'm on my
On my way
On my way

Better Things

( Live MCM Café )

Don't drag it down
Just because you're down
Just because you're blue
Doesn't mean I'm too
I know found
You need more than me
Don't talk to me
Without being free

It's freedom
Withoutlove
And magic
Without love
And magic without love
Yeah

Hear me say
Better thing will surely come my way
Hear me say
Better thing will surely come my way

Say the magic's gone
Well I'm not a magician
Say the spark's gone
Well get an electrician
Say you're right about needing to be free
All that's bullshit, baby just won't rid of me

You want freedom withoutlove
And magic
Without love
And magic without love
yeah

Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way

My way
Hey
Surely come my way...
