The Icelandic quartet Reginfirra was formed in the summer of 2009. The quartet received a grant from Reykjavík's Cultural Fund in order to brighten up the city centre during the summertime. After a week or two of working on their compositions (but mainly fooling around and eating), Reginfirra began to appear frequently on the streets of Reykjavík, gradually imprinting their quirky tunes into the minds of tourists and pedestrians. The band also organized a few indoor concerts at local venues, where its dynamic material could be heard in proper acoustics. To make the summer even more memorable, the quartet participated in the Young Nordic Jazz Comets, held in Oslo in september, where it shared the first prize with the Norwegian trio, PELbO.

The hard-to-pronounce name of the band can be translated as „Absolute Nonsense“ and is probably most often used by Icelandic politicians when they want to express their disgust in a sophisticated way. Reginfirra's music is no nonsense though, and while the band members may lack some sophistication on stage, they will hopefully not disgust you.

The quartet's members are:
Ingimar Andersen (saxophone),
Daníel Friðrik Böðvarsson (guitars),
Kristján Tryggvi Martinsson Frewer (keyboards) and
Magnús Trygvason Eliassen (drums).

Kristján and Magnús are as well members of the acclaimed K Trio (winner of YNJC 2008).
