Heima Australian Premiere 

Heima
Ah well crap. Missed out on tickets to the premiere of the Sigur Rós new documentary film ‘Heima’. Tickets were $72 for a short acoustic set by the band followed by the film which is kinda pricey but would have been a pretty special experience never-the-less, especially at the amazing Forum theatre. The film has been getting a lot of praise too so hopefully it gets a theatrical run somewhere in Melbourne (if anyone knows, post a comment). But the DVD should be equally great too (especially a HD version) with a projector :) DVD is out on November 5th in 2 editions. Click here for Australian details and pricing.

Be sure to check out their relatively new photoblog too. Some stunning images in there. Of course the Heima trailer in HD looks great if you haven’t already downloaded it.

Sigur rós ‘Heima’ trailer 

Sigur rós - Heima
Sean over at A-Reminder gave the heads up about this new documentary following Icelandic band Sigur rós on their 2006 summer tour of their own country. The trailer looks simply breathtaking and the doco is due for release in November in Iceland and Great Britain, with a DVD release to follow. You can check out the trailer in HD Quicktime here (137Mb but worth the d/l) or the shitty youTube version here.

Their next album tentatively titled ‘Hvarf-Heim’ should be released around the same time as the doco.
