Sigur Rós and Scottish Chamber Orchestra

There aren't many bands that I'd fly from LA to Iceland to see, but Sigur Rós is not just any band. And 11 hours of flying is a small price to pay to see one of the best live bands on the planet.

Sigur Rós deliver shows that will make you feel everything - from beautiful melancholy to dizzying euphoria. Often accompanied by a full range of string and horn sections, the cinematic scope of their music is the perfect metaphor for the dazzling landscapes of their native Iceland. The term "other worldly" is a bit overused these days, but it couldn't be more appropriate here.

One of the few bands that I will make sure I see every time they are in town, Sigur Rós is a worldly treasure.
