Poster series for a early HATARI run in downtown Reykjavík. Nothing was advertised other than these sets of A6 flyers left around town, yet every show sold out.

Promotional material for HATARI's first release concert that happened to coincide with local parliamentary elections. A darker twist of current slogans captured attention, as well as photoshopped images of bus stops that news media picked up on and reported as if they were real.

HATARI's first self-released EP, Neysluvara, in 2017. Self-assembled loose seethrough booklet with CD in a clear DVD case.

In late 2018, we announced the disbanding of HATARI with a final concert, as it was evident that the band's goal of exposing the relentless scam of everyday life was not achieved within the allotted timeframe.

A very serious interview was published by our fake news outlet, Iceland Music News, along with the usual press statements.

This was of course a ruse, to prepare for the project's controversial entry into the national preliminaries for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019.
