Reykjavík Grapevine - 06.11.2009, Side 14
M U S I C NOVEMBER/ DECEMBER – continued – Go Out, Kinda Hressó, Den Danske Kro, Café Rosenberg, and More All Month! (November) November strikes Iceland and with it comes the urge to hibernate: night falls quickly, the bars quiet down, and taking it easy – or cosy – starts sounding terribly appealing. But sitting at home is dull, your cat keeps shitting on the floor and you're tired of surfing the filth, trash and idiocy of the Internet. What to do? Well, it's time to take a lesson from the Cold War. While some historians may have you believe there were only two sides to the Cold War – the Soviets, and, well, the rest of the world – this is untrue. Take Tito's Yugoslavia, which considered itself an unaligned state and practiced what was labeled "a third way." So this month, the Grapevine suggests you adopt the "third way." Don´t build yourself an impenetrable cocoon, but don´t rage like a freak either. Compromise instead, and come see one of Reykjavík ś renowned troubadours! Acoustic melodies, warm voices and rambling lyrics: this is what winter's all about. Hressó, Den Danske Kro and Rósenberg all feature troubadour performances regularly. Grab a beer, get cosy, and enjoy time away from your filthy cat. MZ Movie Nights Bakkus 22:00 Every Wednesday, Free Seems there’s a whole lot of various movie nights popping up at venues around Reykjavík. Perhaps there is a need to fill the void of independent film screenings since the movie theatres in this town only tend to show lame blockbusters. Or maybe it’s because darkness is dawning upon us and the need to snuggle up with popcorn and a movie is growing greater. Whatever the reason, we’re loving it. Latest to join the movie night bunch is Bakkus. Every Wednesday the groups Rafskinna, Kino Klúbbur and Slash & Gore Video take turns presenting quality films. Among the movies coming up is Modus Operandi by Frankie Latina which will be screened by Kino Klúbbur on November 18. It’s been raved about since its premiere and received critical acclaim from all over. And it’s all for free! LP Stereo Hypnosis - Album Release Concert Sódóma Reykjavík 22:00 1.000 ISK Amicable father-son ambient project Stereo Hypnosis invite you to their release concert, in exchange for a measly 1.000 krónur. This admittance fee comes with an alcoholic beverage to warm you up and if you add another, pathetic thousand-krónur bill, you'll get their latest CD, Hypnogogia, too. And if that isn't enough for you, they'll be joined by Ruxpin & the West End happy pin DJ AnDre! If you're still not happy, well, then you're just ungrateful. C'mon! Don't be like that, they're awesome! AJ God’s Song Hallgrim’s Church 17:00 3500 ISK No trip to Reykjavík, or Iceland for that matter, is complete without a visit to Hallgrim ś Church. Perched atop one of the tallest hills in the city, the shiny white church resembles a tiara, or a rocket ship taking off. Either way, this church is awesome in almost every regard. But there’s awesome, and then there’s fucking awesome. The Friends of the Arts Society Hallgrímskirkja have commissioned an hour long piece to celebrate St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. The resulting oratorio, written by Askell Másson and featuring four soloists, a choir, an orchestra and two organs promises to be one of the few events we’re comfortable labeling mind- blowing and family friendly. MZ 2009 Guitar Festival Salurinn Kópavogi 21:00 2500 ISK For those who do in fact enjoy venturing out of the Reykjavík 101 area and are into guitars – this is for you. The 2009 Guitar Festival will be held at Salurinn in the suburb of Kópavogur and is lead by none other than Björn Thoroddsen, one of Iceland's leading jazz guitarists. The country’s finest and most famed jazz, blues and rock guitarists join forces to please the crowds. LP 12 Nov. 22 Nov. 6 Nov. 29 SUN Café Rósenberg 22:00 Bóka Upplestur and Ljóa.
