Calling All Björkophiles
This film explores the boundaries of music, nature
and technology by documenting the creation of a
project that encompasses music, apps, Internet,
installations, and live shows. 'Biophilia Live'
features Björk and her band playing the songs
of ‘Biophilia’ using a wide array of instruments,
traditional, digital and specially crafted for the
album, enriched by the most spectacular visual
effects inspired by natural phenomena. SL

Put your guns away, boys, these are not polar
bears, lost and hungry; they are simply the gay
bears of Iceland and their international brethren
having their annual meet-up in Reykjavík. For
those that have longed for a chance to connect
with their inner bear and explore the scene, Bears
On Ice is just what the doctor ordered. The three
day programme leaves enough time to pursue
other interests and get acquainted with the other
bears and cubs. AH Photo by Páll Guðjónsson
As winter rears its ugly head, patiently waiting just
around the corner, Iceland’s farmers and chefs
are apparently nonplussed, choosing to ignore it
altogether. Defying the rules of nature, the gang
are staging one last Summer Food Market, in
hopes that they can capture that elusive summer
spirit one last time. Expect fresh produce, good
food, and a chance to dance along to some folk
tunes. AH

ROCK THE GLAM OUT The energetic camp
glam-infused, saxophone-playing punk rock band
Grísalappalísa are playing at the Einstök-offering
venue Húrra on this fine Wednesday of Wednes-
day. If you haven’t seen this band before, you are in
for a treat, as they will doubtlessly bring it, singing
about the inherent vulnerability of the male psyche
in today’s world. And being rock and fucking roll.
COLLECT YOUR TICKETS NOW Instrumenmtal
rock/fusion supergroup The Aristocrats are
making their way here and will perform a live gig at
Café Rosenberg that no music aficionados can let
slip by them. Composed of guitarist Guthrie Govan
(Asia / GPS / Steven Wilson), bassist Bryan Beller
(Frank Zappa / Dethklok) and drummer Marco
Minnemann (Steven Wilson / Necrophagist).
Admission: 4,500 ISK.
