Sigur Ros

Last week I got last- minute tickets to see the Sigur Ros show at Red Rocks. They played on Saturday night and it was INCREDIBLE. If you are one of the few people that have never heard of Sigur Ros before, they are an Icelandic post-modern rock band with classical and ethereal qualities (as described by Wikipedia...=)). The lyrics are a mixture of Icelandic, English and their own made-up language called Volenska. I drove up with my good friends, Chance, Tyler and James but when we arrived Chance and Tyler discovered that they had lost their tickets. So James and I went and they had to drive back home to look for their tickets. They ended up finding them at the ground of the gas station they had stopped at on the way. What a nightmare for them! 

Anyway, the show was amazing. It was pretty full and the crowd was very enthusiastic with people ranging in their 20's to 60's. The music was sweeping and epic. The stars were shining and the the breeze fluttered lightly through everyone's hair. Video projections and lights reflected off the red rock formations behind the stage.  Amazing in every sense of the word.
