As the season of elevated blood pressure and gift-giving guilt approaches,
we encourage you to stay relaxed and treat yourself.
Jazz and candle lights. Irish Coffee and eggnog. Almonds and hazelnuts.
Christmas punch and all the music you can handle in December.
December 1ST – Eggnog Week
If you’re not wearing a reindeer vest
while drinking your eggnog, you’re doing
something very wrong. But don’t worry, in
our eyes everyone’s wearing a reindeer vest
during Eggnog week.
December 7TH – Irish Coffee Week
Irish coffee is the luck of the human race.
The gold pot at the end of mankind. The
accent in taste. The personality of smell.
Stay warm this week and Irish it up…coffee
style!
December 14TH – Christmas Punch
Week
Let us knock you out this week with the
delicious taste of Christmas Punch.
Don’t let the name fool you though. The only
ingredients of this brawl are having fun
and enjoying each other’s company.
Jakob Frímann Magnússon & Þórunn
Valdimarsdóttir
The mid-town mayor and all around art mogul
reads passages from his newly published
biography, written by Þórunn Valdimarsdóttir.
Náttfari
After their ten-year hiatus, the band Náttfari has
just released the album Töf and are ready to post-
rock it up!
Óttar Norðfjörð
Get ready for dramatic twists and unforeseen
turns as the young yet brilliant novelist reads
from his crime mystery The Lier.
ADHD
With a sound of creamy jazz/rock fusion, they
ironically hold your attention in perfect order.
Hallgrímur Helgason
Everything concerns Hallgrímur Helgason. Poet,
writer, painter and playwright. If it’s an HH
production, you know it’s good.
Lóa Hlín Hjálmtýsdóttir & Hugleikur Dagsson
The dynamic duo read us passages from their
newly published books. Illustrations are a big part
of their work and “something different” defi nitely
refers to their style.
Nolo
Sitting steady on your chair, you can be sure
the electronic duo will take you on a trip outside
of earth’s hemisphere. Perfectly suited for our
relaxed December.
Sóley
They say it’s an indie kid world, and we’re just
living in it. Right or wrong, nothing is stopping
Sóley from Indie-ing it up at KEX. Let’s keep on
relaxing.
Lay Low
Her music combines elements of blues, folk and
alternative country. United with the relaxed sound
of her unique voice it makes her the perfect fi t for
relaxed December.
Pollapönk
From hard rock they switch to school rock with
ease. Bring the kids for a memorable evening the
whole family can enjoy this KEXmas.
