Bragi Olafsson

�lafsson is best known for his work in The Sugarcubes as a bassist, the avant-garde pop band from Iceland that brought fame to Bj�rk, who went on to solo success with her unique brand of dance-pop.

The Sugarcubes, who favored strange, offbeat melodies, came together in 1986, reportedly on the day that Bj�rk gave birth to her son Sindri. But, before the group formed, the Sugarcubes' members had played together in different combinations in various Icelandic groups. �lafsson and Einar �rn Benediktsson (trumpet / vocals) had released records on Benediktsson's own label, Gramm[?].

In the meantime, �lafsson divorced his wife, the twin sister of Sugarcubes drummer Sigtryggur Baldursson[?]'s wife, and married Benediktsson, becoming the first openly gay, wedded couple in pop-music history. In 1993, Bj�rk began her highly visible and successful solo career and is now considered an important pop-music innovator. �lafsson, meanwhile, has concentrated on Bad Taste Ltd.[?], the company formed by the Sugarcubes to publish poetry and sign other bands.
