Reykjavík Grapevine - 18.06.2010, Side 22

You Should Be Angry!
(and here's why)
Protest Concert for the
Music Development Centre
(TÞM)
Sódóma & Hellirinn
18. June/22:00/1000 ISK &
19. June/17:00/Free
The Music Development Centre
is a seriously awesome Reykjavík
institution. It not only offers space
and support for the musically
inclined young folk of Reykjavík,
but filmmakers, graphic designers,
fashion and web designers as well.
Bands are provided with recording
space, practice facilities, and plenty
of support to get their act off the
ground.
This wonderful centre is
facing some tough times in light
of the current financial crisis, and
is severely lacking proper funding
from the city. If the centre fails to
raise enough cashmoney it faces
closing its doors. To demonstrate
its importance they'll be throwing
two protest concerts this weekend.
The first, a fund-raising concert
at Sódóma, features acts GusGus,
Sykur, Quadruplos and DJ Vector.
The second, held in the parking
lot of TÞM, has performances by
Feldberg, Sudden Weather Change,
Lay Low, Nolo, Dark Harvest and
more. Help keep an amazing
Reykjavík institution alive and rock
out at the same time! AS

The City Is Your Gallery
Siggi Ámundason Exhibit
Havarí/Útúrdúr
Perhaps as you’ve explored and wandered around downtown Reykjavík,
you’ve taken note of some of the many colourful and imaginative creations
that decorate the city’s walls. The lively underground scene of street artists
never fails to share brilliant bursts of colour and lively patterns in this, at
times grey and dreary, city.
Siggi Ámundason is one of these many urban illustrators. His large wall
mural right outside Kling & Bang gallery is impossible to miss as you walk
up Hverfisgata. It features an array of stark buildings and a dark expanse
of night sky. This impressive artist will be showing four new paintings and
releasing a small book of poetry titled Snake Cool And The Cobra Crazies
this Friday. It’s going down at Havarí/Útúrdúr on Austurstræti. Check it. AS
It’s Only Rock’n’Roll, But They Like It
Rolling Stones Tribute Concert
June 25
Hlégarður in Mossfellsbær at 22:00
Admission 2.000 ISK
Can you not get any satisfaction? Is playing with you like playing with fire?
Are you a beast of burden!? Well, you should load up on whisky and head
to Mosfellsbær next week to see Iceland’s greatest tribute band to The
Rolling Stones – Stóns. The supergroup is made up of members of some of
the rockingest rock bands in Iceland, bands such as Minus, EGO and Esja.
They will cover songs from the Stones’ forty-year history and feature a slew
of guest performers. DJ Sir Honky Tonkin’ will blast tunes between sets. An
event guaranteed to cure your cocksucker blues. RL

Of Horses And People
Hótel Varmahlíð,
Skagafjörður
Runs until January 1st 2011
The relationship between horse and
man has been one heart-wrenching and
emotional rollercoaster. For thousands
of years we've forced them into bloody
wars and made them transport our asses
across mountains and deserts. And did
you see how many were wiped out in The
Last Samurai? Now it's man's turn to pay
his respects to horse. The Horse Centre
and the Skagafjörður Archives have
teamed up to present the exhibition Of
Horses and People at Hótel Varmahlíð. The
photographs document over 100 years of
our relationship with this trusty beast. AY
