January 4th—January 31st

The Wonder
Years (USA)
Jan. 31st - 20:00 -
Húrra - 2,000 ISK
Make no
mistake: This is
the American
pop-punk band,
not the TV show.
Come for some
fun-loving
moshing. HJC

‘Heavy Trip’
Screening
Jan. 9th - 20:00 -
Bíó Paradís
Heavy metal,
grave robbing,
and Viking bat-
tles—aka ‘Little
Miss Sunshine’
with Amon Am-
arth. HJC

AAIIEENN ‘Spaces’ Release Concert
Jan. 4th - 21:00 - Gaukurinn -
1,500 ISK
Ethereal, electro-ish 90’s house
on a slightly balearic trip morphs
into colourful worlds through the
eclectic beats of AAIIEENN. Their
first album, ‘Spaces’ was released
by FALK in September. AAIIEENN will
be joined by xGADDAVÍRx, AMFJ, and
Trouble. HJC

Andy Svarthol + rauður //
The Vidarson’s Takeover
Jan. 4th - 21:00 - Mengi - 2,000 ISK
Just when you thought Reykjavík’s
music scene had been completely
taken over by hip-hop and ethereal
electronica, post-psychedelic soft-
rockers, Andy Svarthol have finally
returned to the stage. Think a mix
of The Zombies with late 90s Britpop
bands. HJC

Dark Music Days 2019
Jan. 31st - 17:30, 19:30, 22:00 - Harpa - Free-4,500 ISK
In the dark and spooky
Icelandic winter, music
becomes a rare beacon
of light. For this reason,
every January, the Dark
Music Days festival has
taken place to present
the best of experimen-
tal contemporary mu-
sic. This year’s iteration
in Harpa is no differ-
ent, and the lineup on
January 31st promises
a doozy of a dark day.
At 17:30, catch the
colourful electro-
acoustic cello music
of Zoë Martlew. Next,
don’t miss the Iceland
Symphony Orchestra at
19:30—conducted by
Grapevine cover star
Daníel Bjarnason—with
an exploratory concert
featuring everything
from Þuríður Jónsdót-
tir’s ‘Flutter’ to Anna
Meredith’s ‘HandsFree.’
The day ends at 22:00
with the percussion-
based Danish ensemble
Neko3, who serve up
avant-garde music
performed in complete
darkness. HJC
DJ Ívar Pétur is a bit of a badboy
Many have misunderstood Dynfari
