The Sugarcubes: Ladies and Gentlemen, The Icecubes from Sugarland
Mat Snow, Sounds, 10 December 1988
Paying the price of fame and fortune, The Sugarcubes have talked and I smiled themselves through a seemingly endless round of interviews and gigs. Now they've had enough. Mat Snow hears how Iceland's finest are looking forward to enjoying life's basics again shopping, drinking, TV, feeding the baby and, of course, sex.
