Júpíters
Iðnó
You'll want to wear some loose clothing to
this show, because Júpíters will make you
lose control of your limbs with their funky
jazz. Your toes will tap, your arms will flap
and you won't know where to look. This
fourteen-member band has been playing
together since 1989 polishing and perfecting
their stage presence. They're energetic, but
composed. Saxophones, trumpets, key-
boards, and bongos litter the stage, simulta-
neously acting as many and acting as one.

Podium Festival
Selið, Stokkalæk, Nordic House, and Harpa

Always wanted to see what all the fuss was
with Wagner? Whether Bach is back in black?
The Podium festival may be just the right event
then, as it aims to introduce people to classical
music in a new and exciting way. Organised by
young enthusiasts, the festival brings together
child prodigies from six different countries, and
its stated purpose is “for every guest to walk
away with butterflies in their stomach, goose
bumps and a smile.” TGB
Metal Progress
Total Heaviosity21J U N
Momentum, Azoic, and Morð
Gamli Gaukurin
Best to be present when three local acts –
Momentum, Azoic, and Morð– bring their
deep sounds together for night of metal
that will surely achieve total ‘heaviosity.’
But, in all seriousness, these are not your
average metal bands. They are dedicated to
their craft and to experimenting with what
people expect from the genre. Momentum
identifes as a progressive metal group
and dons contemplative song titles such
as “Indifference of the human mind” and
“Pt. II Death, acceptance, and disillusion”.
Azoic, a black metal group, has created an
equally intriguing sound, and Morð, a brand
spankin’ new band, will feature musicians
from World Narcosis and Celestine. SS
