They are still performing in 2004 with the original lineup. The band members are: Eythor Gunnarsson - Keyboards Fridrik Karlsson - Guitars Gunnlaugur Briem - Drums Johann Asmundsson - Bass Kristinn Svavarsson - Saxophones They awoke many musicians, as well as united them in the lyrics from Garden Party that evoked images of the iconic demise of The Beatles and included bold, yet humorous sarcastic references to differentials in time/space to polarites such as Rick Nelson and John Lennon.
