This issue’s picker is the punked-out Árni Þorlákur. He says that
he started as a bass player in an Akureyri-based band when he
was seventeen, because he “was the only one bad enough to play
with them,” and in addition to subsequently playing numerous
instruments in numerous bands has started to organise gigs as
well. In more recent news, his band Norn just released a new
album through cassette collective Vánagandr, and he just had a
baby, but hasn’t had time to celebrate either occasion as he’s been
slaving away getting the extreme music festival Norðanpaunk
ready. You can find the events our picker of the
issue found to be interesting spread out over the following pages,
marked with this icon.
Have you ever looked out the window of your ranch on a rainy
day, liquor in hand, and been like, oh, the feelings I'm feeling. Well
then, Thursday night at Dillon's got a show for you. Let crooner and
piano wizard Indigó (né Ingólfur Þór Árnason) whisk you away to
a land of melody and tears. (Pro-tip: bring soft tissues—you will
cry). And while you're at it, Kalli's (Karl Henry Hákonarson) gonna
be there to bring you back to the prairie home you never had, with
his soft, smoky singing and soothing folk arrangements. Then folk
& roll group Bellstop's gonna bring the groove with their bluesy
brand of down-home tunes that's sure to get you moving. Grab
some whiskey while you're at it—this night's line-up is the perfect
soundtrack to sipping on a glass or four. SLWF
