"Sub-zero Reykjavik was the venue for Friday night´s much-heralded Sugarcubes reunion. Playing for the first time in 1992, the Icelandic indie post-punks put on a thrilling show to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their first single Birthday and to raise funds for their non-profit-making label Smekkleysa.
Taking to the Laugardalshöllinn stage, the band’s set spanned the three albums studio they released in their four year recording history –namely 1988’s Lifes Too Good, ‘89’s Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week! and ‘92’s Stick Around For Joy.
Stuart Williams, MOJO’s man-on-the-spot, stated:
It was quite a remarkable set. Two decades on and these songs sound better than ever. Truly timeless. And the on-stage chemistry between Einar Benediktsson and Bjork was something to behold. It’s just a shame that it was a one-off.
The ‘Cubes’ set list reads as follows:Traitor, Leash Called Love, Deus, Water, Bee, Planet, Shoot Him, Walkabout, Mama, Pump, Regina, A Day Called Zero, Birthday, Coldsweat, Blue Eyed Pop, Motorcrash, and Delicious Demo. Encores consisted of Hit, F*cking in RhythmSorrow and Luftguitar. MOJO understands that the set was also recorded for posterity, although whether it will be released remains unclear.

You need to fix the hyperlink to the Mojo article...you have a break command in the "a href". Also, there are various other things, like the picture, that are not laying out correctly. Just fyi. :-) Congrats, btw. It was an awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome event and I think you should release it on video so I can relive it over and over again. I am now looking to find an audio copy of Luftguitar...I don't think it was ever released here...was it just a b-side to the Deus 7-inch? My friends tell me it was a hit in Iceland, but it is not on any of the albums released here. Takk og bless i bili. Take care...

Posted by: cinnie at November 25, 2006 10:00 PMSorry to hear that cinnie. Keep on trucking my dear.
*hugs* If the girl won't go to a Ghostigital concert, you know there's something up. Speaking of which, The Melvins and all are here in SF on Wednesday so that might get me out of the house.
Posted by: cinnie at November 27, 2006 7:44 AMWhat kind of girl says "no" to a Ghostigital concert?
Posted by: Jen@Buffalo at November 27, 2006 10:22 PMMy gentleman instincts forbid me from saying BUT I think that's a great slogan for a tour poster!
Posted by: cinnie at November 28, 2006 7:11 AMYeah!!! The rest of the poster would say, "One Night Only, Buffalo, NY!!!"
