Takk You Sigur Ros @ the State Theater


I just got back from the Sigur Ros show at the State Theater in Portland, ME. They were ridiculous. Amina, the opening band, played very similar music and played all the strings for the Sigur Ros songs. When you listen to the band on their albums you forget about the solid energy they have. Almost every song builds with such a crecendo that by the end the drummer is beating the drums to death and the lead singer is singing higher than an angel. I have a bunch of videos I took with my digital camera that I'll throw up on my youtube account. Look for those tomorrow, if anyone knows the setlist let me know. I know all the songs but I'm horrible with names.

Update: Sigur Ros will be on Conan this Wednesday, check local listings for details.

The Portland setlist looked something close to this(according the sigur ros boards):
takk
glosoli
ny batteri
saeglopur
njosnavelin
(here's where it gets muddled)
gong
hoppipola/med blodnasir
olsen
vidrar
svo
heysatan
-
popp
