J-pop meets 80s glam pop meets devastating Nordic skepticism

Since his debut album in 2012, this Faroese electro artist has made a name for himself for his melodic and extremely catchy alternative pop music. Combining his love for The Beach Boys, dance music, 80s glitz, and video game nostalgia, the music is uplifting and extremely danceable.

On stage, the keytar wielding SAKARIS charms the audience with woefully unscripted stage banter and down-to-earth presence, before blasting into earworm after earworm. Having performed at everything from a 13-year-old’s private birthday party to SPOT festival to senior Bingo night to the main stage of the G! Festival to Iceland Airwaves, SAKARIS knows that every show is different, but somehow also exactly the same; a flipping good time! 

For this particular concert in Oy, SAKARIS is pulling out the big guns; a full 7-crew backing band with the Faroe Islands’ best live musicians and a setlist with ALL the bangers.

The rawness in the gloomy weather and the breathtaking scenery on the Islands shine through in Son of Fortune’s songwriting and sound. From the raw and dirty Rock n’ Roll to the darker and folky landscapes, the music challenges you, but at the same time makes you feel at home.

It is time to dust off your good old lederhosen, dirndl and the high spirits.

Are you Faroese? What do your genes say? Your ancestry? Your language? Youraddress? What does your blood say?

Both heritage and environment shape our identity — who we feel we are, andwhich communities we belong to.

This evening, we explore how blood, culture, and history shape ourunderstanding of who we are — and how we might create new ways of belonging.

Blodklub is a performative investigation of identity and belonging,where the audience becomes an active participant in an evening filled withstories, humor, absurd rituals, and symbolic actions.

You might even be asked to donate your blood!

We challenge our notions of heritage, language, and culture, and explore theboundaries between the personal and the collective. Together, we search for asense of connection — even when our histories and backgrounds are vastlydifferent.

The performance draws on Norwegian history, where the Indigenous Sámi peoplewere, for generations, subjected to assimilation and cultural pressure. But thethemes extend far beyond Norway to anywhere that language, culture, andidentity are in motion.

As part of the performance, the Faroese band Hamradun will give a concert.

The artist collective Ferske Scener, based in Tromsø, creates performanceart, encounters, and events that actively involve the audience, with aparticular focus on the linguistic and cultural complexity of the North.

Blodklub leaders: Sigbjørn Skåden, Bernt Bjørn, Kristin Bjørn, KristinaJunttila
Guests: Hilde Kristin Liu Skoglund and — for this night only — the local bandHamradun
Producer: Marianne Siljuberg

Supported by: Arts and Culture Norway, Tromsø Municipality, TromsCounty, and Pahn-stikk.

This performance is part of the performing arts festival VERK –Nordic Stage Days, supported by the Nordic Culture Fund.

Rap Rock with MC-Hár in OY

TheFaroe Islands’ oldestrap-rock band is returning to the stage this autumn, this time in OY on October18th.

Even though the bandhas passed the age of 34 years, they have played concerts regularly all along,and several of the members keep in shape by playing in other bands.

The long hair has beenreplaced with styled and bare bald heads, but the music is still the sameriff-based rap rock that has carried the band forward through the years, everytime gathering their loyal fans.

The lineup has been thesame for over 20 years and includes some of our most experienced and skilledmusicians.

Niels Uni Dam on rapand Rókur Jákupsson on vocalsare strongly supported by the solid foundation of Rani HammershaimbChristiansen and Heri Reynheim.

The two guitarists,Jens V. Jakobsen and Jonas Bloch Danielsen, make sure we never forget that theband is a child of the nineties, while Tróndur Bogasoncreates his wild soundscapes on the keyboards.

A lot of wax has goneinto the hair since MC-Hár debuted with a spontaneous performance on theEbenezer steps downtown Tórshavn on February 16, 1991. Or since the band playedits first Ólavsøka concert on July 27,1992, released the track "Symphony of Irony" in 1996, the full album"Framvegis uttan vit" in 1998, placed third in Prix Føroyar in 1999 and released the EP "Burn Me" the same year, andheadlined the very first G! Festival in 2002.

But judging from theirperformances earlier this year, the band is better than ever. So you better getready to rock!
