Wikipedia on Nylon (band):
Nylon is an Icelandic girl group composed of members Alma, Emilía, Steinunn Camilla, and Klara. The group was formed after auditions in Iceland, which Alma, Camilla and Klara attended. A few weeks after the auditions, Emilia was asked whether she would like to be in the band, and after meeting them, she accepted the offer. The group sings pop music in English and Icelandic.
Their first single "Lög Unga Fólksins" (which means "The Young peoples Song" in English), was released in April 2004. The group have had considerable success in their native Icelandic, achieving a total of 9 Number 1 singles to date, as well as two chart topping albums and a book entitled "100% Nylon", which instantly became a best seller.
They have also released a DVD entitled "Nylon Allstaðar", which contained their smash hit TV show as well as other items.
Nylon have released two albums in Iceland, Góðir Hlutir and 100% Nylon. Both albums went straight to number one.
Nylon released their debut UK single "Losing A Friend" (written by English songwriters, Chris and Tony Griffiths, ex The Real People) on 10 July 2006. It reached number 29 in the UK Top 40 singles chart. Nylon have supported Westlife, Girls Aloud and McFly on their UK tours, and were set to support Journey South on their tour, but had to pull out after Klara became ill and had to return to Iceland.
The follow up to "Losing A Friend" was a double A-Side, "Closer", another Griffiths composition, and a cover of the Eurythmics classic "Sweet Dreams". The video for "Closer" was being rotated on 'The Box' and mirrors the video "Whole lotta history" by "Girls Aloud" which was made months earlier. The single was released on October 23rd. Although it had previously made #1 in Iceland, it failed to reach the top 40 in the UK.
