About Georg Hólm

Georg "Goggi" Hólm (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈcɛːɔrk ˈkɔcːɪ ˈhoulm]; born 6 April 1976) is the bassist of the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós. He is the most prominent member of Sigur Rós in the English press, as he does significantly more press than the other members due to him being the most fluent English speaker in the band. == Biography == === Personal life === He has a wife named Svanhvít Tryggvadóttir. They were married in 2005 by Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, the allsherjargoði of Ásatrúarfélagið. Georg's father, Haukur, is a news reporter on a local TV station, Stöð 2 (Channel 2). He is the only member of Sigur Rós without a patronymic name: the majority of Icelanders have a patronym rather than surname. The song "Salka", a former live only song, released on Hvarf/Heim in 2007, is named after his stepdaughter. Georg has two brothers; one of them is a guitarist in For a Minor Reflection, Kjartan Dagur Hólm (1989). === Professional life === He and Jónsi are the remaining founding members of Sigur Rós. As do other members of Sigur Rós, he plays multiple instruments during a typical live show.
