Event Picks
Þórir Georg Nokkur Goð Album
Release Show
June 3, 20:00
Mengi
2.500 ISK
“A few good ones” is what Þórir’s
recently released compilation al-
bum means, and the problem we
have here is that it’s just a few. Þórir
Georg’s been grinding away making
music for over twenty years, under
many artist names (look ‘em up)
including his own, and he has more
than a few good ones that didn’t get
as much attention as they deserved.
But we’ll take a few, thank you. He
will play a few of them, joined by his
brother Axel Flóvent as the opening
act, it should be a good one. RX
JFDR Museum Album Release Show
June 8, 21:00
Fríkirkjan
3.990 ISK
Jófríður Ákadóttir, known musical-
ly as JFDR, really went through it
during lockdown. She released an
album that she couldn’t tour and hit
creative stasis while stuck in Aus-
tralia. But from a period of rest came
her gorgeous new album, Museum,
a monument of fleeting, healing mo-
ments captured in time and space.
She will bring these moments to life
for us lucky locals in the acoustical-
ly perfect halls of Fríkirkjan church,
where her magical vocals and
entrancing songs will captivate you
with awe. RX
SAKARIS & Janus Rasmussen
June 9, 22:00
Gaukurinn
2.000 ISK
What do you really know about the
Faroe Islands? If it’s anything but
good electronic dance music, forget
it immediately and get on the dance
floor with SAKARIS and Janus Ras-
mussen. These two Faroese-born
Reykjavíkers are known for their
prowess in making people move to
their distinct and infectious styles
of electro. SAKARIS brings 80s
glitz, glam and camp with his keytar
bangers and silly banter, while Janus
delivers dance music that breaks
away from the typical club fare. Get
the Faroe Island beats in your soul.
