LEATHER PANTS
MADNESS!
Localice Live
NASA 20:00
Tonight is a night for whisky and leather
pants (unless you read this after our
date of publication, which means
you steamed your leather pants for
nothing). Production company Localice
is throwing a party at NASA, inviting
some of Iceland's sweatiest rock outfits
to play: Sign (who haven't been on an
Icelandic stage for a whole year – and
they have been missed!), cheerful
rawk-rockers Cliff Clavin, twenty-
year-old post-rockers For A Minor
Reflection, grunge throwbacks Noise,
the ever-unattainable Ten Steps Away,
and Akureyri metal heroes Nevolution.
Doors open at eight, and if you want to
enjoy some cheap(ish) drinks, be sure to
show up early. SVt
Who's Got The Stamina?
Fræbbblarnir + Guests
Sódóma 22:00
The first Icelandic punk band is climbing Sódóma's stage on April 30th. What? You're
thinking of some weird white-haired wannabe rockers who need an elevator to get
on stage? Don't worry, just because they were the first Icelandic punk band doesn't
mean they're doters. Fræbbblarnir (The Staaamens) were founded as a just-for-fun-
college-band in 1978 (with their youngest member being only 14 years old – check
out Dr. Gunni’s rock history in our last ish for more info) and just somehow never got
around to leaving stage again. So gather your stamina and prepare for a historic –
and historical – rock show. SVt

From Darkness To Light!
Festival of the Sacred Arts
Hallgrímskirkja Church 23:30
Saturday and Sunday, 4.900 ISK
Hallgrímskirkja’s biannual Festival of the Sacred Arts is coming to a close, but there’s still time to catch the tail
end of it – that is if you are reading this on April 9, 10, or 11. And in that case, you can stop by the church at
noon on Friday the 9th to catch Schola Cantorum music and meditation and you can purchase a ticket at midi.
is for the finale Saturday and Sunday concerts with Johannes Brahms’ “A German Requiem” performed by the
Hallgrímskirkja Motet Choir along with soloists Birgitte Christensen and Andreas Schmid. Don’t they usually save
the best for last anyways?
If you missed the festival by the time you opened this paper, still go see Hallgrímskirkja if only to climb to the
top for a nice panoramic view of the city. AA / Photos by Jói Kjartans
