Sugarcubes Reunion

"Nearly 20 years ago The Sugarcubes put out on their own label Smekkleysa SM, their first single Birthday. This release was the start to the splendid career of The Sugarcubes, and impressive releases of Icelandic artists in Iceland and abroad alike. These first steps made by The Sugarcubes have made and everlasting impact and influence on the Icelandic export of music.

It is therefor with unbound joy we announce the 20th anniversary concert of Birthday and The Sugarcubes in Reykjavik on the 17th of November. The Sugarcubes will take to the stage for the first time in 14 years.

All profit from the concert goes back into Smekkleysa SM who will continue to work on a non-profit basis for the future betterment of Icelandic music and artists.

World domination or death! yes thank you!"

Fun fact: Björk's face is on Icelandic currency! (Not true!)

I hope it pops up on Youtube. Airfare from Melbourne to Reykjavik is a little inhibiting.

Does this mean we have to hear the pre-k-fed annoying white rapper pop in on every line bjork sings? Don't get me wrong, I adore their stuff, just not the "i said ouch, this really hurts" guy.

Saw them way back in 1988 at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. It was fun, especially the songs in icelandic and Einar going nuts with his trumpet.
