The Sugarcubes

The Sugarcubes were an Icelandic rock-pop band formed in 1986 and disbanded in 1992. They received critical and popular acclaim in both the US and the UK. Albums include the following:

• Life's Too Good[?] (1988)

• Stick Around for Joy[?] (1992)
• It's It (1992) (remixes)

Besides Björk, the band was made up of:

• Einar Örn Benediktsson (vocals, trumpet)
• Einar Melax[?] (keyboards)
