Icelandic band strip down at Electric Proms
Sigur Ros rubbished 'Vanilla Sky' after their intimate gig at the 2007 BBC Electric Proms tonight (October 24).
The incident happened during a question and answer session following the screening of their concert film 'Heima'.
When asked what the band thought of the Tom Cruise film 'Vanilla Sky' – which featured the group's track 'Untitled #4'- keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson said it was “a crap film”.
Earlier, the band played a 45-minute acoustic set in the English Folk Dance & Song Society in London.
They were joined by the all-female string quartet Amiina for 'Samskeyti'.
Singer Jonsi Birgisson said: “These are our friends Amiina, they help us play. Thanks.”
They played:
'Agaetis Byrjun'
'Heima'
'Njosnavelin'
'Heysatan'
'Samskeyti'
'Vaka'
'Von'
'Staralfur'
The 2007 BBC Electric Proms will continue with further performances at KOKO from The Chemical Brothers and Tim Burgess.
