The Sugarcubes set to reform
September 20, 2006
The Sugarcubes have reformed, some 20 after the release of their first single.
The band, who featured Bjork on vocals, are to play a show in their homeland Iceland on November 17
The show will mark 20 years since the release of “Birthday” and will be the first time the group have played together for 14 years.
In a statement issued by the band they said :
“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 an everlasting impact and influence on the Icelandic export of music.
It is therefore 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.”
