Live music listings: September 2007

Doors 7.30
£6 via WeGotTickets | £7 door. As with all good debuts, a sequel is never far behind, and following the acclaimed sell-out event in June at The Luminaire we are pleased to announce the line-up for the second Reykjavik Nights on Wednesday 26th September.

Headlining will be 27-year-old Hafdis Huld. She's been produced (in a musical sense) by the same genius-level knob twiddlers and writers as the Arctic Monkeys and Sneaker Pimps and she's also played with Icelandic dance legends GusGus, achieving a career high of being No.1 in Mexico in the process.

Add this musical pedigree to the fact that she has a voice that's cuter than kittens and songs that stick in your head for longer than most New Years Eve celebrations, and it's not surprising that her debut UK album 'Dirty Paper Cup' attracted comments such as "deliciously skewed pop" (The Guardian), "an irresistible album" (The Fly) and "sublime - charismatic story telling pop of the highest quality" (Clash magazine)

Jan Mayen are releasing their second album 'So Much Better Than Your Normal Life" and will be touring in the UK this September. They are undoubtedly one of Iceland's best inde rock bands. Their music has been described as a combination of loud rock with pop and noise influences and critics have said their music sounds something like Sonic Youth, Minute Men, The Strokes, The Ramones, The Rapture, Pretty Girls Make Graves and Liars.

Motion Boys are the latest hype in Iceland. This dynamic duo is joined on stage by members of Trabant and Mínus, and despite the lack of a record label their infectious electro-pop songs have been making a splash on the airwaves in Iceland the past months.

All of these bands will also be appearing at the Iceland Airwaves festival held in Reykjavik in October.

To top it all, Reyka Vodka will be offering free cocktails to all of our guests.

The night will also be sponsored by Icelandair who are flying all our artists to UK.
