The final shows are the last Friday,
Saturday and Sunday in July at 20:00.
reykjavík!
The Grapevine Bad Taste Concert Series will soon be coming to an end, but still enough great performances remain for our many music fans that have been partying hard at Am-
sterdam every Thursday this summer. On 31 August, Reykjavík!, still celebrating the release of debut album Glacial Landscapes, Religion, Oppression and Alcohol, will be partying
at Smekkleysa at 17:00 and at Amsterdam at 22:00 the same night, together with some carefully picked guest appearances.
While the band is known for rumpus behaviour and extremely spicy performances onstage, the atmosphere might be a little quieter this time around as some of the band mem-
bers are all scrambled after last week’s extreme playfulness. According to close sources they will at least try not to trash any guitars this time around.
Those who can’t wait until the end of the month, Reykjavík! will be playing a gig at Stúdentakjallarinn tonight, Friday, 25 August, with Sprengjuhöllin and Dóri DNA.

Music and nightlife events usually start around
21:00, unless otherwise stated. Pubs close at 01:00
on weekdays and much, much later on weekends.
For those just wanting to party, the pubs and
clubs don’t get crowded until after midnight on
weekends, although Thursday is a semi-official
night out.

Patti Smith
The legendary pioneer Patti Smith fell for the country on her last visit and is on her
way to Iceland once again. After crowding NASA last time, leaving many dedi-
cated fans out in the cold, she has now chosen a new venue for the show, namely
Háskólabíó movie theatre. Together with guitarist Lenny Kaye she will be playing an
unplugged concert on 5 September. Her fierce stage presence and unique voice will
undoubtedly reveal a night to remember. Limited tickets are available. For more info
visit: www.midi.is.
Háskólabíó, September 5
Mammút
Once a girls-only trio, now a five-member, mixed-gender group growing in
sound as well as fan size, Mammút will be playing inside 12 Tónar record shop
on 25 August. In April this year, Mammút released their self-titled debut album,
which was described by the Grapevine’s critic Sindri Eldon as: “A tight, power-
ful album blessed with true emotional quality and depth that belies the youth of
its creators.”
Despite the members’ young age (they are all under 20) Mammút have played
gigs all around Iceland as well as touring in Europe where critics have praised
their performances and emphasised on the band’s presumed prosperity in the
future.
Taking a stroll down Skólavörðustígur with a stop at the shop is a great oppor-
tunity to catch a glimpse of what the praise is all about, and yeah, like all 12 Tónar
concerts, it’s free, and you might even get to slurp on some red wine in plastic cups
while you’re there, also free. The concerts start at 17:00.
