In the early 2000s, Foo Fighters performed in Reykjavík while on their One By One tour.

Prior to the performance, they invited an unknown garage band from a tiny fishing village to perform a song in front of 6,000 energetic fans.

I was in the audience that evening and this is a fictional story inspired by their show.

I dedicate this story to the memory of Taylor Hawkins.
