Picker Of The Issue
Sindri Freyr
As the singer in two prominent Icelandic bands—disco
ensemble Boogie Trouble and surf-rock act Bárujárn—it’s
safe to say that our picker of the issue, Sindri Freyr, knows
his ways around the Rekjavík music scene. Both are busy:
disco-pop tunesters Boogie Trouble are releasing an album
this month, and Bárujárn’s infamous live show is basically the
closest thing in Iceland to actually surfing—that is, cold and
slightly sinister. When asked about his favourite artist, Sindri
can’t name just one, or even several. “I just like the Icelandic
scene in general,” he says, “so it’s very hard to pick just one.”
That’s the reason why he picks Húrra as his favourite venue—
for having such a diverse selection of live music each month.
He goes on to say that the music scene is the only reason to live
here: “It’s not the weather or the politics that really attracts
anyone.” If he has to recommend an Icelandic Festival, it’s
without a doubt Aldrei fór ég suður, because according to him:
“It’s so ridiculously fun. You just have to be there.” JP
