Sigur Rós Schedule North American Tour

They've never seen a cheeseburger
Icelandic darlings Sigur Rós recently announced the dates for their fall North American tour. This tour is more extensive than last spring's sad six-show parade, and the venues are somewhat larger. The dates immediately follow a September tour of the British Isles. The band hasn't released any information regarding opening acts, but their previous North American tour saw the band going it alone, deciding to play extended sets instead of bringing another band with them.

n Sigur Rós continue to support their most recent recording, \xC1gætis Byrjun. A new LP looms on the horizon, but snags in the building of a recording studio have delayed such efforts. The band is currently making another video for a track from \xC1gætis Byrjun. Allegedly, the video for "virar vel til loftarasa" will include youngsters playing football. Which beats the piss out of the "retards dancing" concept for "Svefn-G-Englar."
