Sigur Ros

[Aurgasm]

I was already hoping to do Coachella Weekend 1 followed by a drive up the coast to San Fran this year (I've never been north of LA/Indio on the west coast). The San Fran Sigur Ros gig makes this even more desirable. Obviously that's a large venue, but otherwise how is it, and how well do you all think it will work for this show? Just curious how much of a priority I should be making this. Thanks!

Yea, im not the biggest fan of the venue but I think they'll roll in the sound and put up a great AV show. I can say that about every venue on this list that I've visited. Just those soulless kind of "we'll do wrestling, mma and monster truck rallies then give you hippies your Sigur Ros" kinda stuff. But it is Sigur Ros. Unless the venue totally fails on sound I doubt anything will distract you from the show. 8^)

I will probably try to do Denver and Phoenix. Hmmm.

yeayyyy! I'll be in denver!

i cant speak for the other venues, but the ones they chose in Texas are great.

[Gribbz]

I'm 99% in for Denver. Probably PHX as well if I skip Coachella.

[NTellier85]

Damnit Sigur Ros why you no come to the Southeast.

Anybody get Pre-Sale is tickets to the San Francisco show at Bill Graham? Their website said Pre-Sale was sold out but I just got through with one of these codes (password = valtari; valarti). I hate purchasing through ticket master but this is going to be a can't miss show even if they play Coachella.

[Spooks]

Woohoo! Got 4 GAs Much easier than Wednesday! The last time they played Starálfur in US was at the theatre @ MSG in 2006 so hopefully they'll bring it back on the setlist

[HotHamWater]

Anybody else trying to buy tickets for the Phoenix show? It's telling me they're not on sale yet, but they were advertised to go on sale 4 minutes ago.

I was able to start buying at 10:06, and got a GA ticket.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

Are they going to be playing much from 14:59 and Floored or will these sets rely more on their later material?

[HotHamWater]

Jonsi said on Extra, the television show he co-hosts, that they'll mainly do later material.

The Iceland Airwaves set was pretty damn impressive, with visuals for nearly every track - and frickin' lasers. Not sure how the projections on the side walls will work at Coachella, though.

Not dogging you but wow I am always amazed how some peeps have not been outside of their friendly confines. When I went to WS 99 I hitched a ride with 3 dudes from LA. They had never been outside of LA metro. On the trip back, they had to stop and take a pic of every farm we saw lolz. People are amazing. cr*** POST 420 unless I am slow

[HotHamWater]

Post #420 happened four days, and 15 posts, ago. But, you know what Ron, it's not important. Happy Friday.

Yea that was weird. Before I hit the post button, it said post 420. Oh well. Happy Friday to you too. Did I read where you were considering the Denver show? I've seen them maybe 3 or 4 times and they are so frigging good. cr****

The fact that I live on the East Coast, not SoCal, is literally written out for you 1 inch to the left of this post, and every post of mine, included the one you responded to.

Come on now.

Weee

as is implicit in the name you will be able to log-on to the news and entertainment site and ask the band whatever you want, on the understanding that they will do their best to answer honestly. the now three-piece band will be live online talking direct to you from the recording studio in los angeles where they are presently working on new material, for around an hour. they are also planning a brief glimpse into their near future with a video clip of new material scheduled to go live simultaneously.

[Aphxtwinin]

I wanna ask why the hell they aren't playing Red Rocks in Denver in April

[shakermaker113]

ask them why they are playing every mediocre-to-awful venue scheduled on their upcoming tour.

also, whether they are headlining coachella.
