Don’t Ever Stop Be-

Concert
Rocking, Droning And
Grooving
Celebrated and agitated indie rock trio kimono
have finally announced their second concert this
year. They recently reissued their three albums on
vinyl, and reportedly have a new one on the way
that will hopefully surpass the high bar they’ve set
(read more about it elsewhere in this here listings
pullout). Expect to hear some new stuff, along
with all the kimono-classics. They’ll be joined by
Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist Ari Russo,
who’s renowned for peppering his musical perfor-
mances with archival video footage. GB
Feature documentary ‘Ég vil vera skrýtin’ (“I
Want To Be Weird”) shines a spotlight on British-
born artist Kitty Von-Sometime, who has lived
in Iceland for the last decade, and used that time
to—among other things—found the wildly suc-
cessful women’s only performance art group The
Weird Girls Project. The camera follows her daily
routine, and shows the projects she’s working on,
as well as the women in her life. The documentary
is director Brynja Dögg Friðriksdóttir’s first
foray into the film world, and will premiere at Bíó
Paradís on September 3. GB

The Grapevine picks the events, places and what to experience in the next two weeks
Joshua Ledet
Louisiana-born singer Joshua Ledet is notorious
for his amazing performance on American Idol's
eleventh season (in which he placed third).
Seriously, he took JLo and Steven Tyler to church.
Now he's making his way over to Iceland, so head
over if you fancy some funk. Admission is free!

Kælan Mikla
Taking its name from The Moomin's "The Lady
of the Cold," Kælan is a darkly atmospheric
poet-punk-cum-darkwave trio that's constantly
reinventing itself, with each iteration tighter and
more dynamic than the last. Don't miss them.

Concert
26°C And Breezy
Beloved Icelandic indie-folk-reggae-adjacent
band Hjálmar are all set to to play their hearts
out for you fine folks at Húrra. These guys sport
that classic, indie-beard look & vibe—soft vocals, a
sensitive touch, and the act of wearing sunglasses
indoors, at night. But they also have soul: rhythm,
harmonies, and (most important for Iceland) the
warmth you would expect of a band from latitudes
far, far lower than here. SLWF
