This week’s Kimi Records night at NASA in Reykjavik was a storming night of music that could only happen in Iceland. Nowhere else would they jam together Benni Hemm Hemm and Reykjavik!, bands as different as a shot of Opal and a pint of milk, on the same bill and get away with still producing a fitting finale to the label’s summer tour.

Borco were a revelation with their fantastic airy tunes and matching tracksuits (a look sported by the entire tour entourage) and three-piece punk/metal band Mordinjarnir were, as always, full of energy and humour, even though I couldn’t understand much. It’s a pity a few more people didn’t come.
