Wet Sheep released the first Swagman record under Wet Sheep Records in March 2014.
Wet Sheep has been an artist host / logistics manager at Pstereo since 2008. We have had the pleasure of working closely with Sigur Rós, Veronica Maggio, Franz Ferdinand, The xx (UK), The Roots (US), Death From Above 1979 (CA), The Pains of Being Pure At Heart (US), Teddybears (SE), Múm (IS), Katzenjammer (NO), Filthy Dukes (UK), Den Svenska Björnstammen (SE), Raga Rockers (NO), DumDum Boys (NO) Carmen Vaillain (NO), and others. In addition to coordinating lodging/transport/backstage/stage/sound logistics, we also arrange cultural excursions to give the artist a richer experience.

Wet Sheep started working with EnsÃmi in 2000 when WSP's founder was studying in Reykjavik. After seeing Ensimi live, we had to do something to get this music outside of Iceland. It was too good to be missed! The first mission was a small tour of the U.S. east coast to promote the Iceland Airwaves festival in 2001. WSP provided tour management, equipment solutions, transportation, lodging, stage tech and other logistics. Since then Ensimi has been a solid partner with WSP including another US tour via SXSW, G! Festival in the Faroe Islands and general promotional and stage support over the years. The band released their 5th album in autumn 2015. The first single stayed at #1 on Icelandic radio for over a month.
Lucy caught our attention in 2004 while she was the vocalist in the Oslo-based pop band The Fountainheads. In 2008 she decided to go solo to experiment with new sounds and start writing a solo album. The album, titled "Le Petite Mort" was released in spring 2010 and has received RAVE reviews due to its unique sound and her amazing voice. Lucy Swann is the hottest female artist in Norway right now and has been compared to Björk and Kate Bush. We are eager to get the word out internationally! Wet Sheep has supported Lucy with graphic designs for her Web profile/social media along with promotional networking abroad. She is currently working on her second release.
We first met Bloodgroup at By:Larm in Oslo 2008. Then again at G!Festival 2009 where we talked about bringing them back to Oslo. Wet Sheep booked the show and arranged travel and logistics. It was a good experience and we are continuing to work with Bloodgroup and plan to bring them back to Oslo in 2011 on a tour to promote their new album. Bloodgroup is not only the hottest electo-pop act in Iceland, they are also developing an impressive resume of festivals including Rosekilde, G! Festival and By:Larm to mention a few.
We have been long-time friends of Dr. Spock, whos entire backline is from Ensími. Their sound is totally unique and fairly difficult to explain. The live show is what Dr. Spock is all about and it must be experienced. No matter how chaotic, the music is supertight thanks to the excellent musicianship and professionalsim of this band. We have worked with Dr. Spock in Iceland on a mini-tour providing logistical and merch support. They have toured in eastern Europe and have also played at G! Festival in 2008. We hope to bring them to Oslo very soon. Read more about their impressive history below. Behold the mighty YELLOW GLOVE!!!

We met Lake Trout in Iceland in 2000 where they played the Iceland Airwaves festival. After establishing a relationship we supported them with booking/logistics at the acclaimed Innipukin festival in Reykjavik in 2005 and the Faroe Islands in 2004. The band has a solid reputation still to this day in Iceland not to mention an over 15-year history of success in the USA touring with acts such as The Pixies and The Flaming Lips. The band is still together but most of the members are working on other side-projects such as UNKLE, Big In Japan and writing film music. We hope to work with them again soon.

Wet Sheep had a major role in the launch of this fabulous female foursome. We edited and layed all the typography and graphics for their first album cover, designed and developed their first Website, delivered creatives for posters, t-shirts and electronic media, and provided lead stage tech support in 2008-2009. We also booked them and provided tour management at G! Festival 2009. Since then Katzenjammer has caught the attention of the world and they are constantly on tour around the globe. Their second album "A Kiss Before You Go" was released in autumn 2011.

We provided booking and tour management/logistics for Úlpa on 2 tours in the USA. In 2001 we toured the east coast to promote the Iceland Airwaves festival. A few years later we lined up a tour with Lake Trout which included a monumental show at Maxwells in NYC/Hoboken supporting The Secret Machines for their debut concert and first CD release. The band has released 3 albums and performs live occasionally...in addition to a side project called Thundercats.
We have worked with the G! Festival since 2003 when we booked and provided tour management and overall support for Ensími. In 2007 and 2008, we provided stage management and rigging support. In 2009, Katzenjammer received booking and tour managment support from us. We have developed a deep love and friendship for the people involved with the G! festival and hope to continue to work with them for a very long time forward.
