Sigur Ros at MIAF

Although officially under embargo, seems that Icelandic band Sigur Ros have let the cat out of the bag (in an e-newsletter distributed via their website Eighteen Seconds Before Sunrise) that they will be performing live at this year's Melbourne International Arts Festival, accompanying the Merce Cunningham dance troupe. That means they'll be playing their 2004 EP Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do live, or I'll eat my hat (a Bogart, don't you know).

In related news, I see from the six-month program sent out in recent days by Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces that Jonsi from Sigur Ros will also be exhibiting in the gallery there during MIAF.

Woo, I say. And I'll add a Hoo to that statement. Woo-hoo!
