VÖK / REYKJAVÍK

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH REYKJAVÍK, ICELAND WITH VÖK

INTRODUCTION

Hi, we are Vök and we live in Reykjavík. We’re an Icelandic indie band that loves to make moody electronic pop songs. We’re a trio that consists of Margrét, Einar and Bergur. It’s lovely living in Reykjavik as it’s a rather small city and easy to manoeuvre. It only takes about a 15 minute drive in any direction and - boom - you're in a lava field. We’d like to think that most of us around here are easy going folks and we sure do like our coffee, But we’ll tell you all about that and what is up around here

CAFÉ

Reykjavik Roasters is our favourite Icelandic coffee house chain. They roast their own beans and their coffee is absolutely divine. Another favorite is Café Pallet which is in Hafnarfjörður. It has these lovely queer owners that are so warm and welcoming and the coffee there is delicious.

VENUE

Húrra (a intimate venue that has a heart) Gamla Bíó (beautiful concert room with class) AutoClub (an insane nightclub that’s opening soon!)

STUDIO

Tónhylur is the new up and coming place to have your

studio in Reykjavík with 15+ studios and a student academy. Margrét and Bergur have a studio there and absolutely love the community which is forming and the good vibe it contains. It definitely does not hurt that one of the frontman of Tónhylur and his girlfriend opened up a cute coffee place on the first floor. Love starting the morning there!.
