amiina not touring with Sigur Rós, but with good reason!
As I had personally noticed, amiina did not play with Sigur Rós at any of the latter’s Australian shows earlier this month. As it turns out, amiina will only be playing further with SR for a short run of shows in Europe before it’s “all over”.
This was revealed by Sigur Rós manager John Best in his Managers Tour Diary entry for Australia.
Also revealed is that María and Kjartan are pregnant!
the reason why Amiina have not been with us in Australia was because – ta-da-da-da! – Maria and Kjartan are having a baby! Yes, it’s been speculated and it is in fact true. Maria understandably did not want to sit for 24 hours on a plane to the other side of the world to play three shows in three days and then sit for another 24 hours to come home again – oh, and spend all that time in the company of stupid drunk people. So there you go. That’s also another reason why the touring rigidly stops in November with no prospect of adding anything further. Congrats to Kjartan and Maria.
From those of us here at AnimaminA, we also extend our congratulations!
