Tix

2008-07-04T22:31:10Z

Tickets went on sale this morning at 6 am PDT. Their server was overloaded but I manged to get through at about 6:40 and bought 4 tix for the Berkeley Greek Theater show. I think all the tix for that are general admission, the web site was not clear about whether there were both types, only ga were available.

Saw this last weekend at the Helsinki Film festival. Great music doc! The ending will rock your socks. The band played a short acoustic set before the screening. You don't want to miss this:)

btw, how come no action on this tribe for about a year?

Some new SR material?

2006-09-02T17:14:18Z

About a week ago I was in a local record store in San Jose and saw that Sigur Ros was listed on their new release board, but none of the clerks working knew anything about it. Then I saw this in the news section of the SR website:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sæglópur ep delay in usa
8 July 2006

although sæglópur will be available to purchase from itunes from july 11th, the actual release will not be in stores in america until august 8th, due to a delay with the artwork.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone picked this up and could post a review, that would be great! I'm usually hesitant to pick up EP's, but I'd likely make an exception if there were some cool non-album tracks on it... or a video??

Sigur Ros on stage

2006-07-16T01:51:06Z

I saw them in San Rafael on Monday, for the second time in less than a year. The 10s pause in the middle of a song is awe-inspiring: the band suddenly stops playing, the room fells dead silent, and you get this big rush of self-conscience, and at the same time you feel so close to everybody else, sharing the same moment altogether: I love it.
The light show is also very good; I really liked the part with just three lights on stage that shine brightly while when they're playing, and slowly fade away when the sound goes down; as if their music was fueling the lights: magical.
I hope they come out with a DVD of this show.

Thoughts about Monday's San Rafael show.

2006-05-04T07:24:52Z

After seeing SR for the first time at their Oakland show last year (from back in the balcony), I was psyched to be able to see them from the 8th row when they played on Monday in San Raphael. So here, in no particular order, are some thoughts about the show.

~ While definitely modern, the Marin Vet's hall is a really nice venue! I don't think there is a bad seat in the house!!
~ Aniima was great again! I am floored that such a strange combination of instruments could sound so wonderful!
~ They dropped Taak and opened with glósóli, but with the same visuals/screen effects *YES!*
~ They were plagued by technical problems for most of the show—before the screen went up, jónsi actually went offstage during the opening number to deal with something and roadies were hovering around the speakers and drumset all night.. The band also seemed to be unhappy with the levels, as they were gesturing for the FOH mixer to adjust mikes/PA's all night. And a buzzing/floating ground was droning through the whole show! :(
~ Regardless of the technical BS, when the band+Aniima were onstage and in full flight (particularly during the encore) the power of Sigur Rós live is almost frightening! My friend who saw them for the first time on Monday was in tears several times from the emotional intensity of the music! And I wasn't far behind her!
~ Being so close to the stage, I was able to really see and appreciate how hard Sigur Rós works to make their shows as great as they can! They were dealing with so many irritating details, but overcame them and put on a hell of a show! My respect for them increased immensely that night!
~ Overall, they came across as more human than I'd seen before, but more dedicated to their art and willing to go to whatever lengths they have to in order to be...Sigur Rós. I feel kind of blessed to be able to appreciate them at this point! I'm currently playing Takk and "sæglópur" just came on and I'm almost in tears again hearing it!

And without further ado...

Toothfaeries

2006-01-16T09:00:47Z

So last night I got the coolest piece of concert clothing ever. Right next to the main t-shirt and schwag booth was an innocent looking clothing rack with a handwritten sign on it that said "handmade." I went over there (away from the gathering horde at the main booth and perused the collection of authentic, handmade, one-of-a-kind shirts. Everyone was different, some had paint splotches on them and all were cool as hell.

What was even cooler though is that the two waifish icelandic girls who do the graphics for Sigur Ros were there and were stenciling the shirts right there for you. They stencilied the concert date and "Hollywood Bowl" on the back of my shirt and sent me on my way with a bag of stickers and pins along with it.

How cool is a band that brings their designers with them to do one-of-a-kind merchandise?

Hafssol?

2005-12-16T16:02:57Z

So after doing some research I discovered that the truly epic and amazing song they played last night that I was unfamiliar with is Hafssol. However, i have found a live recording of the song and downloaded the version off of Von (the album I don't have) and they sound completely different. One rocks and the other is a drony 12 minutes inside a cloud. Anyone know anything about this one?

meetings

2005-11-12T04:41:05Z

i recently got to meet jonsi backstage at the hollywood bowl show. he could not have been more gracious and kind. his whole vibe was really centered in way that i found surprising considering they had just gotten off satge about ten minutes beforehand. i rarely get star struck and though i was definitely nervous, he put me right at ease, and spoke fondly of iceland. he couldn't wait to get home.

the friends that took me back there were anxious not to impose and orchestrated a quick gettaway. sadly i was not able to meet the rest of the band nor even really get the chance to say how grateful i am that they are making such amazing art.

what a thrill. anyway, i just tought i'd let some body know about the fact that my face to face experience with sigur ros, and i have met many successful musicians, was unlike any other. so kind and present.

anyone else have a similar experience?

Set List Questions from the Bowl Concert/USA Tour

Sorry it's way past when they were there...but I'm trying to figure out what song they did while the screen showed birds on a telephone line/line. What is it? I'm going crazy! (It was towards the end...and Orri was left alone playing keyboards or some instrument in that family) with an awesome weird mix of a woman/child's voice. Thanks!!

Thoughts from the Oakland show! <Spoiler Alert!>

2005-10-06T05:58:19Z

So I had a ticket drop into my lap the morning of SR's Oakland show and I was absolutely floored! This was my first chance to see them live and I was not disappointed in the least!

I wasn't expecting a warmup act, but I thought that Anima set a wonderful tone for the evening with their combination of strings and miscellaneous instruments! This was the one point of the evening that I regretted being in the upper back balcony, as it was hard to see what they were playing at times.

When Sigur Ros took the stage, the lighting effects were a perfect companion to their ghostly sounds and Anima was a wonderful addition to them. My personal highlight was the final song of the main set (the last song on ( ) as well) where the visuals and sounds were beyond description! A close second wast the song (I'm not familiar with) when the women from Anima were plucking their strings and the keyboardist finished the song playing a recorder/flute!

Very amazing stuff!

"Screaming Masterpiece"

2005-09-16T22:21:21Z

That's the title of a movie on Icelandic music. I bought the soundtrack CD when I was in Iceland, but didn't buy the movie (stupid me). The soundtrack is most excellent, a great sample of Icelandic bands (Sigur Ros, Bjork, Mum, Johann Johannson, Bang Gang etc). You can probably find it in import.
From Sigur Ros, it contains track #8 from "()", and an amazing track called "Odin's Raven Magic", a collaboration between Steindor Andersen, Hilmar Hilmarsson, Sigur Ros and Schola Cantorum. It also has a track from Amina, the string ensemble that plays with Sigur Ros.
More info on the movie here:
http://www.screamingmasterpiece.com/
Amina has an EP available in import on Amazon:

Like sucking God's cock. Or something

2005-09-13T06:59:51Z

I couldn't resist this one...

http://www.nme.com/reviews/sigur-ros/7761

Like sucking God's cock. Or something

They play fewer gigs than Jesus throws "coming home" parties, their last record had no song titles and Jónsi Birgisson could walk around with "I’m the singer in Sigur Rós" stencilled on his forehead and still you’d have no idea who he was or what he did for coin. Not only that, but his band make music that sounds like elves rutting in ice castles or dragons bathing in geysers. Meanwhile, they win the award for "band least likely to break into a giggle mid-xylophone solo" with unrivalled ease. Oi! Work experience flunky! File them away in the "anonymous, glacial, misery gut muso" drawer. And shred that Oceansize review while you’re at it.

Except saying such a thing is like hearing biology teachers giving sex education lessons – there is magic woven within the facts. Tagging them so neglects the love, grace and breathless passion that this, the Icelandic quartet’s fourth album, has bolted to the girders of its monumental beauty. Choice cut 'Svo Hljótt’ sounds like the bit in Lord Of The Rings when Gandalf dies reinterpreted by operatic mythical winged beasts, while the broody ‘Glósóli’ contains more nervous system-shaving shivers than a blowjob from an "up fer it" Archangel. If you imagine the noise God makes just before he eats a slice of cheese on toast, then comparably, that’s how satisfyingly yearning the 65 minutes of 'Takk…' sounds. Ordinary people. Extraordinary songs.

NPR.org to Web Cast Full Concert

2005-09-08T03:46:25Z

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4834623

Hear Iceland's stunning ambient rock group perform live from the Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, MD on Sunday, September 11. NPR.org will web cast the full show online beginning at approximately 8:00 PM ET. It's the latest in NPR Music's live concert series from All Songs Considered.

Sigur Ros (pronounced SIG-ger roas) is from Reykjavik, Iceland and features Jon Bor Birgisson on vocals and guitar, Kjartan Sveinsson on keyboards, Orri Paal Dyrason on drums and Georg Holm on bass. The band's music is ethereal with indecipherable lyrics sung in a language they invented. It's a sound the band says is meant to bring listeners "the beautiful landscape of their homeland." Sigur Ros is currently on tour to promote its latest CD, Takk.

The band got its name from vocalist Jon Birgisson's sister, Sigurros, who was born the same year the band formed in 1994. It translates to "Victory Rose."

Pronunciation to sound like a real fan

2005-04-05T21:21:06Z

Sorry, maybe I should know this. But it seems to come up often, and I find that many fans I've spoken to still don't even know the answer.

"Roce" or "Ross"?

Internet Public Radio - webcast with Sigur Ros tracks

2004-12-08T23:15:50Z

Hey, just wanted to let you all know, I'm the PD of a web radio station that went online this week called Internet Public Radio. There are some ambient tracks including Sigur Ros, Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Rachels.

We broadcast at 32kbs (with FM radio quality), and we're dial-up friendly. (In fact, I listen on dial-up with very little rebuffering.)

The station is online at http://live365.com/stations/ipr2004
Thanks.

inspiration for 1st track video

2004-08-08T23:40:59Z

If you've ever seen the creepy yet beautiful and inspiring video for the first track on Sigur Ros' latest album, I think I've found the inspiration for it (if you haven't seen it, try to download it RIGHT NOW).
The below link points to the photojournal of a Ukranian motorcyclist who often visits the "Dead Zone" around Chernobyl. There is a ghost town there, and these pictures were taken at a kindergarten inside the town. Notice the items in the first picture. There is also a picture reminiscent of the video on the previous page (just change 26 to 25 in the url).

http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/chapter26.html

I'd actually suggest reading the entire thing, because it is VERY interesting, especially if you don't know a whole lot about the Chernobyl incident and the subsequent Soviet reaction to it.

enjoy,
colin

Odins Raven magic

2004-07-23T18:34:48Z

Sigur rós will perform óðin's raven magic at the Grande Halle Charlie Parker in Paris on September 28th and 29th, alongside a choir and orchestra. Steindór Andersen will be chanting the 14th century Icelandic poem once again. Tickets to both nights are now on sale.

Anyone seen this before ? I've heard about it and have it on mp3 I think. Anyway I took the plunge and have booked flights to Paris to see them.
There is a link here to buy the tickets (It's in French): http://tinyurl.com/6kpmn

BaBa.TiKi.DiDo

2004-07-12T18:36:59Z

This is a really cool EP, particularly BaBa and TiKi. A very different sound to their album stuff but mesmerizing as always.

Have you got it yet? What do you think?

Split Sides

2004-03-06T00:54:35Z

Finally downloaded (dont hate for me pirating) Sigur Ros's contiribution to Spilt Sides, and its really, really, cool. It remindes me very much of Mum in the first two tracks, and then the third gets kinda creepy with these random vocal samples. I heard that when they performed, they were playing on some kind of musical statue... if anyone knows more about the performance itself, it would be great to hear about it.

Svefn-G-Englar

2004-03-05T17:49:51Z

does anyone else get the chills when you hear the sleep stalkers (Svefn-G-Englar) ?

that song literally has brought me to emotional states that no music to date has ever been able to do. I just love that song and how i feel. I have played it for other people and seen them get misty eyed as I have.
to me its pure loving energy in that song and it shows.

What else are we listening to?

2004-02-27T04:52:29Z

Obviously this is a tribe for people with impeccable musical standards. I'm wondering what your listening to when it's not Sigur Ros (if that ever happens).

In the art/progressive rock vein I'm listening to Hollowphonic , which are pretty close to the SIgur Ros aesthetic, they bow their guitars on some tracks and have beautiful vocals. Also Do Make Say Think and Piano Magic (Go for piano magic if you like beautiful melacholy)

In the electro/other category the new UNKLE and Plastikman albums can't be beat.

Skol

New Album in the Pipeline

2004-02-22T12:39:03Z

Here's the latest courtesy 18 seconds:

new album update-
recordings of the new album are going well, with foundations of 6 songs having been put down. the band is enjoying a different kind of creative process this time around and having fun with writing songs in the studio as they record as opposed to having written the songs long before recordings start, as was the case with ( ). the new album is expected to be finished in the autumn.

Mew

2003-12-13T18:57:34Z

Anybody out there digging Mew? I thought 'Frengers' was a pretty good effort. Someone described them as in the same territory as Sigur Ros but with more of a rocking sensibility. They played Helsinki 2 days ago and it was sold out before I could get tickets (damn!). My friend at the local rag said it was awesome and called them "Scandinavia's best live band" in his review this morning. Well, he has never seen Sigur Ros live...

Sigur Ros's first album

2003-11-27T18:47:08Z

If anyone has been looking for a place to buy Sigur Ros's first album (the one only released in Iceland) you can buy it at their record label's website: www.smekkleysa.net
It seems obvious to just go to their label's site, but for those who lack critical thinking skills, this may be helpful.

HELL YAH

2003-11-11T23:24:44Z

im so so so happy there is a sigur ros tribe!
whats all your fav. songs?

mine is without a doubt svefn-g-englar
with untitled #4 (a.k.a. njósnavélin / the nothing song being second.

svefn-g-englar has brought me to tears a few times. when i hear it its the closest thing i can compare to healing energy being in the music. when my room mate isnt home, i turn up my system at home which is very very loud, and play that song while i lay on the floor. with the reverb that they use in that one, it makes my floor and my body hummmmm and vibrate.
when i saw them live i was filled with so much emotion, i cant even express what it was like.

im glad this tribe is here
