Elstu og minnisskörpustu menn muna ekki lengur hvenær Ljótu hálfvitarnir spiluðu síðast staka tónleika á Cafe Rosenberg. Sumir segja að það hafi aldrei gerst en aðrir segja að það sé nú ekki útilokað að það hafi gerst á gamla Rosenberg áður en það brann. Um þetta skal ekkert fullyrt hér en svona ca. þrisvar á ári er svokölluð „Hálfvitahelgi“ á Rosenberg og þá er staðurinn jafnan smekkfullur af dálítið wild en þó smekklegu og soldið fullu fólki og stemmingin eftir því hálfvitaleg. Nú er svo komið að það dugar ekkert minna en „stór“ helgi til að allir komist að sem vilja og því boða Ljótu hálfvitarnir til þriggja daga tónleikaraðar dagana 18.–20. júní. Þeir hefjast sem hér segir: Fimmtudaginn 18. júní kl. 21.00 Föstudaginn 19. júní kl. 22.00 Laugardaginn 20. júní kl. 22.00 Miðaverð er 3.500 kr. Engin forsala en miðasala hefst tveimur tímum fyrir tónleika. Matargestir geta pantað borð í síma 551 2442.

Although Árstíðir’s latest album ‘Hvel’ was released in March (following a very successful crowdfunding campaign), the band have been so busy (what with touring and whatnot) that they’re just now getting around to throwing an album release party! ‘Hvel’ offers a new side of the band, its sound a slight departure from their traditional folksy beard rock. The celebration happens twice, with shows on consecutive nights, and tickets are available online. Honestly, you don’t want to miss this—Árstíðir are a super good live band.
