Artistfacts:
| The band is from Iceland. "Sigur Ros" in Icelandic means "Victory Rose." It also happens to be a very popular girls name in that country. The lead singer's (Jón ór Birgisson) little sister is actually named Sigur Ros as well. |
| Their songs are in Icelandic and the lyrics are a made-up gibberish language that they have created and called "Hopelandic." |
| Three of their songs were featured in the soundtrack to the Tom Cruise movie Vanilla Sky. (thanks, Shannon - Kathleen, GA, for all above) |
| On their first album Von Sigur Ros painted the studio in exchange for recording the album. |
| The string quartet that plays with Sigur Ros is called Amina. Most of their arrangements are improvised. |
| Birgisson has been blind in one eye since birth. (thanks, Dane - Kaneohe, HI, for above 3) |

Comments:
| It should also mention that Jonsi is a vegetarian. Also, not all lyrics are in Hopelandic. Many are, but some are actually in Icelandic. - Kaitlyn, Brick, NJ |
| JFY: They have a new ablum coming out mid September (17th I think). Should be good-- i think the tracks have names this time.. heh. - lexie, st. louis, MO |

| I love the info provided. Rare bands are sometimes hard to find info for. I'm glad this website has been able to help me. Thanks! - Stephanie, La Mirada, CA |
| I can't believe that bands like this are on here, and yet ones like Stve Miller Band, Supertramp, The Yardbirds, and Thin Lizzy aren't. - Cody, San Antonio, TX |
