A journey through the musical history of Iceland

Tonight we headed into town after work to have dinner in Soho. We later were going to see what films were showing in the cinema, so we headed to our favourite cinema, the Soho Curzon. Again, as is always the case, they had a number of good movies on the schedule, but by coincidence we happened to be just on time for the 6.40pm screening of the The Screaming Masterpiece and how happy were we when we found out that tickets were still available. It promised to be an interesting experience, especially because Daniel Agust the former head of Gus Gus was there to perform a couple of solo pieces. It was great. The documentary was a detailed review of the history of popular Icelandic music. Insight was given into why Icelandic music is so very different. A few scenes were really funny. For example, they showed the "house party" that was hosted by the Icelandic President...

Definitely worth watching. The film was followed by a Vodka reception in the foyer with another live performance of an Icelandic band, whose name I missed.
