Baldu rsgat a Braga gata Nj ar ða rg at a sæ mu Nd ar ga ta Osushi is a unique rest aurant in Iceland. The met hod of dining involves snatching small plates from a conveyor belt. Pricing is distinguished by the color and pattern of the plate – most range between 230 - 440 ISK. Everything off the con vey or belt is tasty and if you don’t really fancy sushi, you can instead choose for ex ample teriyaki chicken, noodle salad, tempura and desserts. The vibe in Osushi is friendly and relaxed. The restaurant is located almost next door to Althingi (the parliament) which is in the heart of the city. osushi.is Pósthússtræti 13 / Borg rtúni 29 / Reykjavíkurvegur 60 HF. Tel: 561 0562 / www.osushi.is OUTSIDE FESTIVAL LA Priest This one-man funk assembly line rocked our guts out at his show at Gamla Bíó on Airwaves Thursday. Dressed in white silk pyjamas and sporting a matching guitar, he produced fractured beats, rubbery bass and sensual guitar licks that got us dancing like it was 1983, and we were at a party at Rick James’s house. Ho99o9 The hardest and most punk rock thing we saw this Airwaves was hip-hop duet Ho99o9. Sporting creepy facemasks, rapping over horror-flick beats, the two- some emitted more energy than a nucle- ar power plant—there was a riot going on at that Nasa stage. Weaves This Canadian future-pop band played a solid set Friday night at Gaukurinn to a full house of revellers. Their dirty guitar riffs mixed perfectly with tunefulness melo- dies from vocalist Jasmyn Burke. Ariel Pink Ariel Pink is a dedicated weirdo in the best possible sense, as was evident through- out his set at Silfurberg. He rambled all over the stage like a hip hobo while his awesome band perfectly performed his left-field, psychedelic pop. GKR Rapper Gaukur, GKR, owned Airwaves’s first night. GKR has slowly been building a buzz with his sincere lyrics and kickass beats in the months preceding the festi- val, and his performance at Húrra felt like a triumphant victory lap. During his song “Morgunmatur” (“Breakfast”) he even threw small packages of cereals to the pumped-up crowd. Good Moon Deer The visually weirdest set at Airwaves came in the form of local one-man band Good Moon Deer. His music can be clas- sified as progressive electronica, some- where right in the middle between hip hop and techno. For his Airwaves set at Harpa, he brought a ten-person dance troupe, utilizing stuff like a milk pitcher, a giant flag, and a traffic cone in the very out-there modern dance show he staged. Mourn Spanish teenage punkers Mourn (they’re all aged 18 and under) rocked the house at Iðnó on Saturday night. They looked and sounded fearless, busting out one beautifully written punk anthem after the other. Andy Shauf At Kaldalón, early Saturday night, Cana- dian folk singer Andy Shauf, backed by a band of skilled musicians, presented what could be called a perfect combi- nation of Elliott Smith and Kurt Vile. The show’s highlight, “Jenny Come Back To Me,” made for a real goosebump mo- ment. Hot Chip The nerdy British electro poppers played their forth show in Iceland, this time clos- ing the festival that brought them here in the first place. And they have yet to dis- appoint. The Hot Chip machine was firing on all cylinders at the Vodafone Hall that Sunday night, the crowd jumping along in unison, exuding pure, uninterrupted joy.
