1.000ISK
Local watering hole, Grand Rokk, mellows out Friday August 14th for the eighth
instalment of Grapevine Grand Rokk, presented by gogoyoko. The night will keep
you krútt kids happily swaying to the musical stylings of up and coming sweethearts
Pascal Pinon, über laid back jazz trio Moses Hightower and possibly the cutest band
around – with an equally adorable moniker – Seabear.
The dreamy melodies will begin filling the space with rainbows and happiness at
22:00, cover is a miniscule 1000 ISK and the drinks are wet, delicious and oh so thirst
quenching. So hike up your candy-coloured tights, don your oversized 80’s-esque
fashion glasses and bathe yourself in the sounds of cute. CF

Start doing your neck stretches now: this night of death metal madness is primed
for destruction-by-headbanging. Swedish pioneers Entombed are bringing their
melodious shredding to Iceland for the first time and it’s set to be an epic event not
to be missed. Local legends Sororicide and newcomers In Memoriam and Gone
Postal will round out the bill of the double-feature show. The early show is welcome
to all ages, and the later one for legal folks only – if the place is still intact. Expect
shit to get royally ripped up in there. -RL

Premiere of a documentary
about Hjálmar and their
journey to Jamaica
Austurbæjarbíó 21PM
After highly successful shows at the
last two Iceland Airwaves festivals and
a period of absence from the country
by their guitarist, the first album from
these Reykjavík hooligans comes not
a moment too soon. They will release
their record “A Ditch In Time” with all
the pomp and circumstance they can
muster to firmly cement themselves in
the city’s musical landscape. Taking
cues from the likes of The Strokes, their
fun, upbeat rhythms and throwback
punk riffs shouldn’t keep a foot still on
the dance floor or a frown on anyone’s
face. RL
In the summer of 2009, all-white
Icelandic reggae group Hjálmar
journeyed deep into the heartlands of
Jamaica to record their latest album.
The expedition was documented by
filmmakers Bjarni Gríms and Frosti
Jón Runólfsson in an effort to show
the roots of reggae music and the
curious escapades of the Icelandic
band. The movie is set to be premiered
at Austurbæjarbíó on Friday the 21st
of August. Hjálmar have already
demonstrated that white men can play
reggae alright will now show how the
people of Jamaica took to their music
and how the journey affected them as
a band. The album, recorded at studios
Ruff Tuff and Harry J. in Kingston, has
been named “IV” and will be played for
the first time for a live audience on the
21st. All those interested in reggae and
the adventures to be had on the sunny
island of Jamaica should check out
Austurbæjarbíó at 21:00. RJH
