18 Seconds

November 11, 2005 10:31 AM

Sigur Ros tickets for their show at the Orpheum Theater went on sale about 1/2 hour ago. Fortunately, I just remembered and was able to snag two orchestra section tickets. They're in the back, so they seem to be going quickly. After missing their last show in town (thanks for the MP3s!) I wasn't going to let that happen again. So, if you want tickets, get to TM post-haste (that's fun to say).

I've seen them a few times already and have been blown away each time. The first time I saw them was in 2000 opening up for Godspeed You Black Emperor at The Cockpit (I think) in Leeds. At that point, I had just heard "Svef-g-Englar" and was slightly surprised to see a man singing. They blew me away then, so I've seen them just once more at Berklee Performance Center in Boston.

Oh, wow, here are reviews of the shows that I've seen from the band's official page. The site is called "18 Seconds Before Sunrise" which I think is just a beautiful image. It's probably the best description of the band that I've ever heard.


How did I miss both Berklee shows in 2003? Bad me.
