Páll Óskar and Hjaltalín
Páll Óskar is turning 40! It's hard to
believe, that guy still looks a ripe 16
(which may be due to his healthy,
alcohol-free lifestyle). Anyway, Palli
himself is apparently not embarrassed
about his age and is throwing a big
party at Nasa to celebrate the two
fifths of a century he has spent on this
planet. For that occasion, he’s invited his
friends from Hjaltalín to perform with
him at Nasa on March 18. His plan for
the night: to reminisce his career as a
musician that started with disco music
in 1993 and has been going strong ever
since. Guests can count on a fun-
Eurovision-Gay-Pride-crazy night.
Get Blues’d Out In
Reykjavík
Reykjavík Blues Festival
Hilton Reykjavík Nordica,
Café Rósenberg, Reykjavík
Free Church
Reykjavik’s annual blues festival is
upon us, showcasing both local and
international talent. Joining us in
Reykjavík this year are Billy Branch
(harp playing master) and Deitra Farr
(soul-stirring vocalist) from Chicago
and Super Chikan (retired truck driver
turned blues star) and the Fighting
Cocks (a group of female blues divas)
from Mississippi. Concerts will be held
from March 27 to April 1 at various
venues, including, the Hilton Reykjavík
Nordica, Café Rosenberg and Reykjavík
Free Church. Tickets can be purchased
at the door. If you are planning to
go all blues out, be sure to ask for a
BLÚSMIÐI, which grants you access to
every concert at a slightly discounted
rate. See you there! For more
information: www.blues.is.
Duplex Concert #5
March 6 21:00
Sódóma and Batteríið
1000 ISK
Duplex is staging its fifth Saturday
event tomorrow, the series celebrating
Reykjavík’s music scene. This time
showcasing local hip hop greats
Forgotten Lores and Original Melody,
rockabilly maestros Langi Seli og
Skuggarnir, Darke and Taylor (UK),
Tamarin/(Gunslinger) and more. The
concerts go down at sister Hafnarstræti
clubs Sódóma and Batteríið, and one
wristband grants you access to both
venues. With access to two stages, it’s a
great opportunity to check out a bunch
of bands from diverse genres, including
both well-known and up-and-coming
talent.
Reykjavik is Cold:
Leonard Cohen in
stories and songs
March 7 21:00
Café Rósenberg
Klapparstígur 25.
This Sunday, long-time Cohen fan
(slash-former Grapevine editor) Valur
Gunnarsson will present material from
his album of Cohen songs in Icelandic.
Listen as thin gypsy thieves transform
to French sailors, as men-at-arms
metamorphose into ocean captains and
as avalanches remain, well, avalanches.
Watch out for a guest appearance in
Norwegian.
Also at the same place: Cohen’s first
album performed in its entirety in
the original language, including such
classics as “Suzanne” and “Marianne.”
In between, we will hear the story of the
real Marianne, Cohen’s Norwegian lover
and muse. A night not to be missed for
any enthusiast of doom, gloom, hopeless
love and long winter nights in Reykjavik
