the love of traditional Icelandic folk
music and instruments into our

Ottoman Album Release Show
June 1st - 21:00 - Gaukurinn - 1,500 ISK
Ottoman—the band not the
empire—is back with a new
album, entitled ‘Burn The Witch.’
To celebrate, they’ll be lighting a
fire of clawing riffs for a night of
‘70s-esque Zeppelin-style partying.
They’ll be joined by Foreign Monkeys
and Eldrún. Bring ear plugs, and burn
those witches. HJC

Under The Underground
RAFLOST 2019 May 23rd-25th - Mengi - 17:00-23:00 -
2,000 ISK per show / 3,500 ISK pass
Under the underground
scene, you’ll find
RAFLOST. An annual
three-day event
focussing on
experimental music,
sound work, and digital
arts, “music, visual
arts, dance, science,
hackers, media art, and
students” perform. The
festival’s remit is to
explore new uses for
old technologies—and
unexpected used for
new ones—on the
fertile friction points
between the creative
disciplines.
The schedule includes
a concert by Kurt
Uenala and Halldór
Eldjárn; the “Radical
Digital Painting” of
Jeffrey Scudder; and a
grand finale featuring
assorted art and music
presentations from
Curver, a rawlings,
Jóhann Eiríksson and
Hallvarður Ásgeirsson,
Hákon Bragason and
Kaðlín Ólafsdóttir. Take
earplugs, and expect
the unexpected. JR
