Innipúkinn Starts Tonight 4. ágúst 2006 11:16 Mammút - reykjavikmag bannað að nota Innipúkinn, one of summer's biggest music events starts tonight. Innipúki is what mothers used to call their children when they played their 8-bit Nintendo game machines. So, basically this was a derogative term for children, either deployed as a bully tactic or as a mother's homemade psychology. Nowadays, our generation is taking the term back and making it positive. Who wants to leave the city during a bank holiday? Pre-adolescents go to Galtalækur with their parents or friends, quite a few end up drunk, from what is supposedly an alcohol-free camping place. The consensus is that those who leave to go to Vestmannaeyjar are foolish because you can expect a 99.99% chance of rain, wind, rain, more shitty weather, and then finally you wake up in a puddle, whether in your tent or having had your teeth knocked out the night before. The citizens of Reykjavík who prefer music and a warm bed stay at home and go to Innipúkinn for a weekend full of concerts with all the hottest bands and acts in Iceland, as well as other internationally known acts. Last year it was Cat Power and this year it will be pioneers of the indie movement as well as the punk movement, Television and Throwing Muses. Television bridged the gap between new wave and punk while Throwing Muses paved the way for indie: check out their homepage: www.throwingmusic.com. They seem excited to be coming here to perform. Icelandic bands include Mugison, Mammút, Jakóbínarína, Hjálmar, Skakkamanage and Ampop. Tickets are available for the whole weekend or just for a single day. The whole weekend costs 5,900 ISK, while a single-day ticket goes for 2,600 ISK. Tickets can be bought at midi.is at Skífan.
