Reykjavík Grapevine - okt 2021, Qupperneq 19

19The Reykjavík Grapevine
Issue 10— 2021
Event Picks
The Reykjavík based, Pos-
simiste, won the European
emerging bands contest
last September. Around 150 bands from
27 countries participated in the con-
test and Possimiste—which has been
Reykjavík-based for the past decade—
was one of six winners. The triumphant
musicians will perform at the European
Youth Event in Strassbourg. Later this
year. The accolades come as no sur-
prise for us at The Reykjavík Grapevine,
as Possimiste has been tearing it up
on the Icelandic music scene for years
now. VG
Before gusgus, there was GusGus. And
it was a pretty unique ensemble of art-
ists in the mid-90s, in which you could
find artists like Emíliana Torrini, Hafdís
Huld, President Bongo and Maggi Legó
all contributing in their own ways to
the legendary history of the band.
Among them was also Magnús Jóns-
son, a well known actor, visual artist
and a film director. Now, Magnús and
Daníel Ágúst, who still remains synony-
mous with gusgus, have formed a new
kind of a supergroup, called Dynomat-
ic. Their newly-released disco-house
hit Miracle will not only force you to
dance, it will fill you with the urge to
break out your old roller skates for a
promenade down Laugavegur while
listening to it. Don’t believe us? Check
out their new video and then find the
Grapevine staff cutting it up in Ingólf-
storg. VG
BSÍ is an indie gem of the Icelandic
music scene that, in our opinion, hasn’t
gotten the attention they deserve. The
band has appeared multiple times in
our magazine, and if there is anything
sure in this world, it’s that good talent
always finds its way. The duo is now
slated to perform with the English indie
band The Vaccines this month in the UK
and Germany. BSÍ won’t be the only Ice-
landers on the stage that night—the
bass player of The Vaccines is Icelandic
musician, Árni Árnason. VG
