Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles, turtles in a half shell… TURTLE POWER! The year is 1990, a gang of
wayward teenagers calling themselves the Foot Clan are running amok in New York,
mugging helpless female journalists and carrying out other evil deeds in the name of
their metal-clad cheese-gratteresque ninja master, The Shredder. Naturally, the only
worthy opponents to this criminal gang set on destroying the morality of New York
is an anthropomorphic rat trained in combat and his four similarly evolved reptilian
understudies. Will this beastial bunch of ninja warriors succeed in thwarting the
Foot’s reign of terror throughout the city? Will female journalists be able to walk the
streets without fear of attack by masked men and live to fall in love with alternately
masked men? Find out Sunday the 12th at Prikið! Cowabunga! CF

September 17th
Sisterhood. Fuck yeah. Rounding up all the wonderful, talented female musicians
Iceland offers (and always on the hunt for more), the Trúbatrix collective aims to
create visibility and opportunities for all women in music, known and unknown, both
locally and globally. Having just released their first compilation album, Taka 1, they
are now in constant demand to grace us with their live presence. They have been off
on tour all summer, so now we are lucky enough to have them back in town to make
us swoon with their lovely voices. jester, Svavar Knutur, getting you well tuned for the
weekend. RL

September 12th
1000 ISK
Oh, these dark nights upon us. Doesn’t
one start feeling the need to brood,
shout and thrash about? I should hope
so anyway. What better way to do it than
at this show! Epically heavy, soaring and
heart-wrenching, Sólstafir doles out a
brand of metal that slays. Whether you
headbang or sway, you’ll be well taken
care of. Sólstafir play with Icelandic
old-schoolers XIII, complete with
their original 1993 line up. Completely
unmissable for the true connaisseur
of classic Icelandic metal or for one
hunting for hidden gems. Your dark,
brooding heart will thank you. RL

DLX ATX & DJ Óli Dóri
Bakkus 22:00PM
September 19th
If you’re itching for a night of dark, dirty grindpop, mark your calendar and practice
your scissor kicks. The bass and drum duo DLX ATX are taking over Bakkus on the
19th with their self-described “deformed Gothic drum-and-bass dansa shizzle.” The
pair will give an old Death From Above 1979 fan a good run for their money, with
more gut-wrenching bass licks and sexy, twisted beats than they’re accustomed to.
DJ Óli Dóri will be around to set the dance party in motion while you liquor up and
get the fuck down. Wear a wifebeater: guaranteed sweat stains. RL
