I just ran across this online: Last night Sigur Rós completely destroyed us in this gorgeous golden classical performance hall. They had a gigantic translucent screen in front of the stage for the beginning and end and they would project themselves on it as silhouettes, like 15 feet tall. Man, they were giants. Totally breathtaking.
Then around 1am that night, coming back to our car after dinner, there they were - chipped teeth and kind of bug-eyed - standing outside their tour bus. With an acoustic guitar and a banjo. There were like three other people around. We stood there in absolute disbelief for a little while, then they started motioning for us to join in (I am not making this up). We went over there and started clapping, singing, and whooping along to this funny little country song they were playing. No way, man. I keep thinking this was a dream, but Matt wrote about it on his Xanga too so it must have actually happened. Here's a link to the video, pretty bad quality, but you get the idea. TCU, make sure you do this at least once. :-D |

Who remembers Greenbelt '05... 12 people crammed into a tiny caravan, many white-faced and top-hat’ed, sing (clapping and whooping) along to amongst other things, a country song about a Interstellar Monkey? |

The 27th for me Dave, I can't wait!
Nothing quite like cramming in a caravan on a cold August evening singing songs about monkeys. Think I'd actually left at that point - my toes having gone numb in my wellies. Happy days x

I saw Sigur Ros at the Liverpool opera house a couple of months ago (it went down as my second best gig ever) they were incredable... especially with the huge white sheet effect.
They are indeed incredably beautiful... and definately more suited to an opera house than a grimey rock venue.
Ever since I have been looking for an old cello bow for my guitar...
