I was pretty excited when I first heard about Heima, the upcoming documentary about Sigur Ros and their homeland of Iceland. I’ve loved the band for years now and have always wanted to visit the country so to have the two together on the big screen…well that’s just fine by me. Then I saw the trailer and I got even giddier…
Not only do we get to hear the unreleased song, Lagid-i-gaer (fast becoming one of my favorites), the trailer also shows just how beautiful the Icelandic countryside is. I almost went to one of these concerts and now I wish I had.
But wait…it gets better.
As of 12pm this afternoon, I am the happy holder of 1 ticket to not only see this movie as part of the New Yorker Festival…but the screening will be followed by a live set with Sigur Ros. Yeah…I’m a happy camper. For once, tickeetmaster didn’t screw me.
Love Sigur Ros. Definitely makes me 1)want to see the documentary. 2)Go to Iceland more than ever. 3) Fly to NYC and steal that ticket from you.
