Pick:

Iceland Symphony Orchestra:
Five Songs And A Symphony
In the 19th century, men ruled the
orchestral world. Fanny Mendels-
sohn was quite the anomaly then—
even while living in an era that con-
signed her to the role of housewife
and mother, she composed upwards
of 460 bold and complex works. In
this concert program, the Iceland
Symphony Orchestra tackles her
only orchestral piece, "Overture
in C Major." Also on the program
are Hafliði Hallgrímsson and Jean
Sibelius. HJC

Friday May 12
Pick:
DJ Thaison
DJ Thaison is known to play ev-
erything from Willow Smith to Páll
Óskar, always mixed with old school
hip-hop though. He will be spin-
nin' on the dance floor of Prikið, so
make sure to wear comfortable
(but c'mon cool) shoes. And if you're
nervous, a good magic carpet shot
makes everyone dance. Say it with
me: Don't be jealous of my boogie!

Issue 07 — 2017

Guten Tag Reykjavík
Wacken Metal
Battle Iceland
Sat. 6 May, 19:00,
Húrra, 2.900 ISK
If you’re not in the
“Metal World,” you
might not know
Germany’s Wacken
Open Air festival.
A TL;DR is that it is
the biggest metal
festival in the
world, with tickets
usually selling
out in less than
24 hours. For any
rock/metal/hard-
core/what-have-
you band, playing
at the festival is
a dream. Luckily,
every year Wacken
gives unknown
bands a chance
to bring down the
house through
the Wacken Metal
Battle, where a
number of bands
from each country
compete for a
spot in the lineup.
Competing this
year are: Cult of
Lilith, CXVIII, Future
Figment, Lucy In
Blue, Nexion, and
Une Misère. Our
pick? [REDACTED BY
EDITOR SO AS TO NOT
DISPLAY FAVOURIT-
ISM.] HJC

Milkywhale
Sat. 6 May, 23:30,
Boston, Free!
Do you long for
a meaningful
world? So do
electro-pop
party duo
Milkywhale.
Dance like you're
an orca. JR

Sóley Album
Release Party
Sat. 6 May, 20:00
MENGI, 2.000 ISK
Sóley’s new
album “Endless
Summer” yearns
for the coming
of those long
pink sunsets. So
do we, tbh. JR

Kaffibarinn Gonna
Percolate
DJ Caspa
Sat. 13 May, 23:00
Kaffibarinn, Free!
DJ Caspa’s long
career has
brought him
through the
myriad forms of
house, gigging
on pirate radio, in
his native London
and across
Europe. Expect
depth and vari-
ety from this UK
legend. Trust. SP

Don't Doubt,
These Stars Are Fire
Hamlet in
Absentia
Sun. 14 May,
15:00, Harpa,.
1.500 ISK
Harpa presents
a screening of
'Hamlet in Absen-
tia' by Icelandic
composer Hugi
Guðmundsson—
a grotesque, yet
humorous retell-
ing of Shake-
speare’s Hamlet.
This above all: Go
see it. HJC
