Anyone pick up pre-sale tix for the 9/11 show @ the Strathmore in Bethesda?
Looks to be an amazing show!

Guess too many people were falling asleep at their shows…
In a recent interview, keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson said they are making the sound of their new album â??more solid.â? He explained: â??We are aiming for a Korn and Papa Roach kind of thing."

Same here as well. I called Strathmore to see if they had any info about location of pre-sale seats, but none was available when I called. It'll make me crazy if I don't know where the seats are until I have the tix in hand, but hoping for the best!

I'd like to go but…
- $40!!!!
- Strathmore is nice, and in good location for me (just down the street actually) but not a great place for Sigur Ros methinks.
- Korn and Papa Roach? And they want fewer people falling asleep?
- $40!!!!

OK, so the pre-sale site couldn't give out seat information, right?
Well, I just picked up my tickets tonight and they are second row center-ish…so hopefully others who bought pre-sales don't have anything to worry about either.

you said…
falling asleep at a Sigur Ros show is like falling asleep in your car overnight on the side of the highway in a blizzard.
Amen.

Damn, my pre-sale tix are 6th row to the right. Still a good catch!
I like sleepy music ;)

I am fairly certain that they are touring with Amina (the strings) again, but I am not positive about that.

I missed out on getting tickets so I'd be happy to buy a pair to anyone who's offering…the new album is fantastic…
