Originally formed in 2012 as a thrash metal/pop/rock/disco duo, CYBER is now known as the rap trio and ongoing electronic musical project of Bleach Pistol/Sick Roma (Salka Valsdóttir), JuniorCheese/YNG NICK (Jóhanna Rakel) and DJ Þura Stína.

The band was named after a lipstick that two members found themselves owning when they became best friends in their sixteens. Now they have released three projects in the past two years: ‘CRAP’ which contains 7 tracks, some of them pumped, some of them sad and nostalgic but all of them a bit weird, ‘BOYS’ a three song EP that is a tribute to cute russian boys and their latest addition ‘HORROR’ which is a thirteen song horror concept album released by Sticky Records, the leading hip hop label in Iceland. HORROR won the Kraumur Awards in 2017 as well as being named hip hop album of the year by MBL.

The trio has gotten recognition for their work with Reykjavíkurdætur where they released tracks such as ‘Hæpið’ and ‘Fiðringur’. Known for their crazy live shows, latex galore and amazing visuals, CYBER is never a disappointment.

6PM FOOD BEFORE THE SHOW
Icelandic Tapas: Chefs Cait Richards and Anna Sigrithur have created a pop-up tasting menu inspired by the rugged landscape and traditional flavours of Iceland, presented with a contemporary twist. Wild, bold and delicious there will be something for everyone from the sweet Icelandic style donut with fruit súpa compote to the Viking-esque flavours of lamb, lichen and harðfiskur (dried fish).

Four course tapas-style tasting menu for $15/ $20 with a shot of Brennivín (Icelandic schnapps).

Since it’s foundation in Winnipeg in 2006, núna (now) has generated exchange amongst contemporary practicing artists across Iceland and Canada. núna’s curatorial programming include artists whose practices intersect and explore the significance and relevance of the connection between Iceland and Canada through interpretation of cultural and postcolonial identities, collaboration, and the narrative of ongoing settler / indigenous relations within contemporary context.
