Once upon a time there was a great band from an island in the north of the Atlantic. The singer went solo and made a lot of crap albums.
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 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.
Yeah! Life's too good.

I reckon there would be a pretty large group of people that would beg to differ on the "...made a lot of crap albums" assertation.
On a more positive note; I haven't listened to The Sugarcubes before and will be excited to check this out.

Hi
I was lucky to see them twice in the late 80's once in a really small club circa Birthday and then in the large Brixton Acdemy around the time of hit. They where great both time.

Yeah, the 'made alot of crap albums' remark may be your opinion, which you are entitled to, but it's still wrong purely on the fact that her albums really aren't crap at all. Hmm, thanks for posting this though.
