Reykjavík Grapevine - 28.09.2013, Blaðsíða 39

Last year two thousand rockers made their way to the Kaplakriki
sports centre to headbang their noggins out of their sockets.
This year, the organisers are hoping to completely demolish the
building with a whole day of heavy rock. The ten band lineup
includes Strigaskór Nr. 42, Ophidian I, The Vintage Caravan,
Agent Fresco, and Bubbi Morthens, the last of whom has not
played anything that even resembles rock for decades. Fortu-
nately, Bubbi has partnered up with an all-star band, so we can
hopefully expect a throwback to his rock-infused days in Egó
and Utangar!smenn. It’s a bit of a trek from 101 Reykjavík, but
it’s a great opportunity to quench your thirst for rock and fucking
roll! TGB

Pretzels, schnitzel, schweinehaxe, sauerkraut, Maß jugs of
beer… just the mention of these had our German intern, Jonas
(pictured above on the childhood body of Rainier Wolfcastle),
burying his face in his palms. “I escaped Germany to get away
from all this!” he lamented. But we don’t believe him one bit – his
bratwurst has a second name and it’s K-E-X-H-O-S-T-E-L! We’re
certain he’ll be at their Bavarian Biergarten for the whole three
days, yodelling along and dancing around in his Lederhosen to
the blasmusik of München-natives Claus and Andreas. Go join
him to celebrate the best festival from Deutschland since the
Love Parade got cancelled for good. RL

Alexander Rodchenko was convinced of the power of photog-
raphy and strove to make people see it as an art form. Through
his pictures, he wanted people to see the world with new eyes,
which you will have the rare opportunity to do at Kjarvalssta!ir.
On October 6 at 15:00, Icelandic Academy of the Arts professor,
Gu!mundur Oddur Magnússon (aka Goddur), will give a seminar
on the works of Rodchenko at the gallery. Come take advantage
of this rare opportunity to see and hear about a unique artist. KL
