Hamer hall was amazing! So was seeing em in the garden of a mansion in the middle of the countryside in Italy :) We nearly got to hang out with the band after the show in the mansion but we got screwed over by an Icelandic hippie and had to sleep outside in a field.

Fuck oath. It's insulting. They may as well hang the Mona Lisa in the Flinders St station toilets while they're at it.

I'm happy with that. They played lots of old favourites (which must mean I'm getting old) and the horn section was a nice surprise. Festival Hall was certainly shit, as I'd been told it was. What a crappy venue indeed. But ultimately it didn't ruin the show for me. It's pretty hard to ruin a set like that.

So this year I've seen Bjork, Mum and now Sigur Ros. Not a bad run.
