gogoyoko presents Grapevine Grandrokk #9 with Dr. Gunni, Hellvar, INSOL and Blóð Grand Rokk 22:00PM 1000ISK It’s that time again! Yours truly is putting on another show with our good friends gogoyoko. This time we’ll be curing the back to school blues with the help of Dr. Gunni, playing us his new album ‘Inniheldur’! Fun! Before we get to see the doctor, we’ll have our vitals taken by Keflavík’s Hellvar, who have just released the ultra- catchy song ‘Falsetto,’ get a sponge-bath from songster INSOL and a nice big dose of angst and dissent from Blóð. They will leave you feeling in tip-top shape and amped up for autumn. RL Lights on the Highway Album Launch Show Sódóma Possible admission fee After quickly forming in 2003 and a whirlwind rise to success in the following year, Lights on the Highway have just released their sophomore album, Amanita Muscaria, through gogoyoko. The group are having a proper celebration for the occasion, giving everyone a chance to get a gander at the goods and hear their beautiful songs, equal parts lush and twangy, slightly reminiscent of The Band, perfect for a night on a desert road. The addition of keyboardist Stefán Örn Gunnlaugsson has added a delicious layer of icing on the already fantastic cake. You should not leave this show empty handed. RL Melodica Acoustic Festival 2009 Various locations Undercover Music Lovers are once again putting on the Melodica Acoustic Festival. Taking place over the course of two nights at three venues (Rósenberg, Hljómalind and newly added Hemmi & Valdi), this jam-packed festival will have you running in a triangle to catch all the amazing crooners and finger-pickers. In addition to the huge selection of local troubadours to hear, the festival will have international darlings Ian Hooper from America, The Cedar from the UK, Jonathan Pointier from France and Sunday Parlours from Germany. The whole thing kicks off with Reykjavík’s reigning jester, Svavar Knutur, getting you well tuned for the weekend. RL 4 Sept. 10 Sept. 20:00 Audiobook Night.

Deep waters indeed Hafnarborg 28th of August to the 1st of November Art exhibition. “In Deep Water”(Lífróður), will debut in Hafnarborg on August the 28th, displaying works by artists who have drawn inspiration from the sea. The aspects the artists have chosen are both the sea as a natural phenomenon and also as way of life. The sea of course plays a huge role in the Icelandic national spirit and has been a shaping force through our history. The show is also a reflection on how our basic livelihood began and still continues to be embedded in our language, thoughts, society and politics. The exhibit will show works from a wide range of artists, inc;uding Ásmundur Ásmundsson, Birgir Andrésson, Ólafur Elíasson, The Icelandic Love Corporation, Sigtryggur Bjarni Baldvinsson, Ragnar Kjartansson and many many others. The name of the exhibition comes from an old Icelandic saying that describes going through hard times. A saying that has frequently been used to describe the hardships the nation is enduring right now. The show is currated by Dorothée Kirch (who also currated the Icelandic contribution to the Venice Biennale) and Markús Þór Andrésson. RJH
