Haunted Paradise
November 4, 20:00
Bíó Paradís
Free
Are you not quite ready to let go of
that Halloween spirit? If you’re a
true freak, every day is Halloween
so why not keep it going over at Bíó
Paradís! Organised by the insider
team of spooky staff, the cinema will
be transformed into a veritable Hi-
eronymus Bosch tableau of a party,
from the sublime music of Ronja,
Madonna + Child, DJ Talk Nice 2
Me and Lottó to the tomfoolery of
face-painting and costume con-
tests, to the downright debauch-
ery of homemade horror films and
freaky art. Enter like a fresh baby
seal emerging from a pond, leave
getting spat out ass-first by a bird.
This Haunted Paradise will be a
freaky delight. RX
Hardcore All-Stars: Gaddavír,
Dauðyflin & ROHT
November 18, 20:00
Gaukurinn
1.500 ISK
Are you rock hard to the core? Do
you think you’re tough enough to
handle some real punk rock from
the mean streets of Reykjavík? And
Akranes, too, actually… Well, then
maybe you should put your money
where your mouth is, put yourself
to the test and go see the Hard-
core All-Stars of Iceland! Coming
in a triple-tie for number one most
hardcore band, Gaddavír, Dauðyflin
and ROHT will rip up the Gaukurinn
stage for a mid-month reminder to
stay tough out there in the cold and
dark. If they can do it, so can you. So
start practicing your windmills and
kick-flips and harden up that core.

Kaffibarinn 30th Birthday Party
Weekend
November 24 & 25
Kaffibarinn
Free
Oh, Kaffibarinn. It’s somehow
strange to believe that you’re turning
30 already, yet it also feels like that’s
too young. Like you’ve been around
forever and you’ll never go away. Like
despite the renovations and paint
jobs and addition of a cocktail menu
– that still freaks out the old timers,
but is actually quite nice – you have
always been there and yet you’re still
so young. Like so many of your DJs
and regulars who are like the furni-
ture. If your 30th bash is anything
like your 25th bash in 2018, then we
are in for some extremely fun times
which we may or may not remember.
Most likely not. Happy birthday, KB!
