Kidding! I'm actually quite envious of Iceland's entire art scene.
One of Iceland's biggest and highest regarded citizens, Jónsi Þór Birgisson (Sigur Rós) is stopping by Toronto's Sound Academy tonight!(NOTE: Friday the 30th of April is now the only show he will be playing as they have just canceled Saturday's May 1st night)
Mid-way through his debut album's North American tour, the press have been giving it nothing but warm reviews. Along with his new four-man touring band, his partner Alex Somers, his visual crew, 59 Productions and his opening guests, Death Vessel... this "tour promises to be something special." See for yourself at The Wall Street Journals exclusive "Behind The Set" look. The live experience brings "together the worlds of theatre, animation, art installation, film and music."

I've still got 2 extra tickets for tonight if your interested (remember this is the only night he'll be playing now). Just give me a ring at 416 389 7713 and we can meet up before the show...
