SIN FANG BANGS TIN DRUM, IT'S #WOW!!!
The Tin Drum: Sin Fang
Everybody loves everything Sindri Már Sigfússon does. Sea-
bear, Gangly, Sin Fang, etc.—if Sindri’s involved, everyone’s
gonna love it. Unusually enough, the Icelandic answer to RZA’s
popularity is not the result of nefarious nepotism or shady back-
alley deals—it’s because he continues to makes some consistently
amazing music (he also has an extensive collection of eclectic
fake beards, which always helps). And guess what: Sindri’s main
project, Sin Fang, is playing the next edition of the amazing Tin
Drum concert series at Harpa. What good new! Word on the street
is that the band will be joined by several guest instrumentalists,
performing a mix of old favourites and new stuff. You should go get
a ticket, because you know this will be good. HSM

Harpa
Austurbakki 2 (C4) | 20:00 | Admission: 3,500 ISK
Ghostigital+Ping Pong Bat=Art
‘Musings of Two Towers’
Listamenn Gallerí
Skúlagata 32 (E7) | Runs until December 7 | Admission: Free!
For years, visual artists-slash-musicians Einar Örn and Curver
Thoroddsen have operated the ghastly Ghostigital, Iceland’s
finest experimental aggro-electro duet. However, their collaboration
has never extended into the field of visual art, even though they both
make that kind of stuff all the time. Until now…
Yes, Curver and Einar Örn went and set up a collaborative
visual art exhibit together, their first ever! And good news: the show’s
very much in the spirit of their musical projects, using mixed media
to create a dialogue between two monoliths, two towers. The results
bring to mind revered ancient figures—however, these ones are
portrayed in modern ways, the artists employing audio and video to
complement their playful blend of colours. AJdR
