Take a Walk on the Wild Side of Reykjavik: Grapevine Got Legs!

Grapevine Got Legs!
is a free walking tour designed for folks who want to know how and where to hang out in Reykjavik, learning some of its stories without looking like a total tourist. It’s fine if you look like a tourist, though.

On the walk you’ll find out some of the secrets to Reykjavik's cafes, music scene, galleries and nightlife. The two-hour tour starts at independent music and art shop, Havarí, and will end at a choice bar where you’ll be able to chat with locals and share a beverage (or eight).

During the tour, you’ll get several short presentations from local art and music scene folks who will orient you with all of the fun and innovative things happening in the city. The tour runs for approximately two hours and will include free and discounted samples of local food, music, art and drinks.

As a thank you gift for joining the tour, you will get a special discount card to bars and cafes in the downtown area – and your Grapevine Certified™ tour guide will help you figure out what fun things you might enjoy doing over the weekend, to ensure you tap into that special local feeling.

And did we mention that it’s free? ‘Cuz it is!

Tour starts every Friday @ 16:00, at the Havarí Music Shop & Gallery.
First one on Friday 1. July with Tour Guide Julia Staples.

LungA Festival @ Seyðisfjörður in the Spotlight @ IMX

10 years: A LungA Time Indeed
The LungA Art festival is a yearly event held in a small bohemian town on the east coast of Iceland called Seyðisfjörður. In the middle of July people gather in this small town of only 700 inhabitants to enjoy the melting pot of various art forms.
Before LungA was Hljómstefna, first held in 1998. The idea of that festival focused on people interested in music, but the ideology was very similar as LungA, which is to combine various musicians in music making and boost peoples interest in music. The festival contained musical education, synchronization and concerts.
The festival lived through two consecutive years, but in 2000 the festival was changed with more effort put into widening the idea and focus on working with young people at the ages between 16 and 25 years old.
Throughout the years LungA has grown and has now become on of Iceland's biggest art festival for young people. From only 20 participants in the first year, the festival has been completely sold out for the last years. To celebrate LungA's 10 year anniversary in 2010, IMX chat to organizer Ivar Pétur Kjartansson…
When and how did LungA start?
The first official LungA festival took place in 2000. It started out of the restlessness of a few young and creative people. They were lucky to know Alla, the mother of LungA, who decided to start this festival with them. She's been the brain and heart of the festival since then.
What were the reasons for starting it?
It was the desire to do something creative that made this happen. 10 years ago there was not much to do for young people on the east coast besides sport, which is all good but for the kids who were not into sports the festival was very welcome. It showed them it's possible to have other interests.
Who was behind it and is the same people now?
Alla has been running the festival since its beginning with a group of young people, but that group has changed over the years.
Was there any kind of event like this in the town, music or otherwise?
No, not of this caliber. There's always been concerts and art events but nothing like LungA.
Why is the event geared more towards young people?
The festival in general is for all ages but the program is aimed for young people and the art workshops are only for 16-25 year olds. We want to give young people a chance to experience and participate in art and art related events. But we welcome all ages and we believe our program is exciting for everyone interested in art and music. We are also very happy to say that people 50 years and older get free entrance to the LungA concert.
Is there, or has there, been a music scene to speak of in Seyðisfjörður?

I think it's in the same proportion as bigger communities. The population is just much smaller so we maybe have 2-3 active bands going on at a time. We've always tried to give the local bands from the east coast a chance to play at LungA and for example both Bloodgroup and Miri played their first live shows at LungA.

Is it the smallest music festival in Iceland?
No on the contrary it's one of the biggest festivals each year. LungA is not just a music festival. It's a week long art festival for young people with workshops, exhibitions, shows, performances and concerts. Over the week more than 4000 people visit the town. It's climax and best known aspect though are definitely the concerts that take place at the weekend.
Which bands have played so far? All Icelandic or any international?
We've had a few international acts in the last years and most of the biggest names in the Icelandic scene. I could name Trentemoller from Denmark, DJ Mehdi from France, Kasper Björke from Denmark plus Icelandic bands like GusGus, Bang Gang, Mugison, Minus, Trabant, Maus, Ghostigital, Botnleðja, kimono, Sudden Weather Change, Benni Hemm Hemm and many more.
Who’s playing 2010?
This year we have Bloodgroup with a string quartet, Hjaltalin, Seabear, Retro Stefson, Miri, Helmus und Dalli, Oculus, Óli Ofur, (Casette), DJ Flugvél og Geimskip and Muted/Hypno. These bands are all playing on the Saturday of the festival on two outdoor stages. On Friday night the Kimi Records summer fun tour is in town with kimono, Sudden Weather Change, Stafrænn Hákon and Quadruplos.
Have any foreign guests attended the festival yet? And what is the appeal aside from the music?
Yes every year we have people from all over the world visiting the festival, both to participate in the art workshops or just to attend the festival. Besides the concerts we have a lot of different events and
activities going on through the week and over the weekend. Besides from that Seyðisfjörður is always a beautiful place to visit.
10 years is a long time…what are you most proud of to date?
What we are most proud of is that we know many examples of people studying or now working in the field of art and music after having their first experience of it at LungA.

Classic Icelandic Albums (CIA) # 6: "Mjötviður mær" by Þeyr

CIA
# 6
"Mjötviður mær"

by Þeyr

Released on 14. December 1981 on Eskvímó Label (ESQ 2). One year earlier, december 1980, the band released their debut album "Þagað í hel" on SG Label.
The band was strongly influenced by Joy Division, their music is often described as "post-punk", or even "depro-punk". Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson/HÖH (Psychic TV member for a while) acted as the band's inspirator/guru.
With the help of Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke, a regular visitor of Iceland in the early 80's , the band was able to play some gigs @ London in the autumn of 1981. John Peel played some Þeyr songs in his show on BBC Radio. Almost they became the supporting act for a tour of 6 months of The Cure.
This Album was recorded in 140 hours @ Hljóðriti @ Hafnarfjörður with the help of Tony Cook.
2000 copies were sold.
The Cover features a naked man, which is a reference to a drawning by Leonardo da Vinci. On the back the naked man is running @ Skerjafjörður towards Bessastaðir (The Residence of Iceland's President).
Band members on this album were singer Magnús Guðmundsson, Þorsteinn Magnússon on guitar (of Eik fame), Guðlaugur Kr. Óttarsson on guitar, Hilmar Örn Agnarsson on bass & Sigtryggur Baldursson on drums.
Songs on the Album:
Side 1
1. Úlfur
2. Iss
3. Current
4. 2999
5. Mjötviður
6. Ópið

Side 2
1. Þeir
2. Rúdolf
3. Never Suck (on Fun-Days)
4. Það er nóg
5. Hva-than
6. Ónefnt
"Iss", "Þeir" & "2999" are poppy songs with keyboards & voice-distortion. "Rúdolf" is an angry, quite traditional, anti-fascistic rock-song.

www.youtube.com/v/pMNL3YpnRrc&hl&fmt=18

HÖH is co-writer of the songs "Iss", "Current", "Þeir", "Það er nóg" & "Ónefnt".
With the help of British Radio Legend John Peel signed a deal with Shout Records. This label released in 1982 an Album "As Above", with some songs of "Mjötviður mær" (LX001). Same cover as "Mjötviður mær".
Track list:
Side A: Homo gestalt - Killer boogie - Dead/Undead - Wolf - Technologos - Poeme

It's not pop, it's not porno, it's Pornopop
Pornopop, a great, but quite unknown band consisting of the bros. Pétur Jóhann Einarsson & Águst Arnar Einarsson.
Band of brothers started in 1996 in their parents' basement, making music with a Roland drum machine. 2 months later they did some late night sessions @ recording studios all over Reykjavík, recording @ night, sleeping @ daytime. The outcome was the highly acclaimed album "Blue" which helped them land tour dates with Sigur Rós.
Five years later they began writing music for their 2nd album. This time they used the dB Studio of friend, Arnar Helgi Aðalsteinsson, of the band Plat & producer of Ampop. Together Arnar & Einarsson & Einarsson recorded & produced the album "…and the slow songs about the dead calm in your arms".
This duo is working on a third album "Two lazy tigers", to be released this year.
