Lauded by the Irish Times “quietly spooktacular,” this show is a live performance to the 1913 French silent film Juve Contre Fantômas
Hailing from Reykjavík Iceland, Amiina are a five piece band comprising of Hildur Ársælsdóttir, María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir, Sólrún Sumarliðadóttir, Magnús Trygvason Eliassen and Guðmundur Vignir Karlsson (aka Kippi Kaninus).
Amiina’s origins go back to the late 1990s, when four girls studying string instruments at the Reykjavík College of Music formed a string quartet. The group started out playing classical music, but increasingly moved on to play all sorts of music with various bands in Reykjavík. In 1999 the quartet joined Icelandic band Sigur Róson-stage. The collaboration continued for over a decade, with Amiina contributing strings to Sigur Rós’ music on tour and in the recording studio on the albums ( ) , Takk, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust and Valtari.
Melancholic and ethereal, yet full of suspense, pounding rhythms and haunting melodies, Amiina’s fans won’t be disappointed. Get your tickets on ticketmaster.ie
