Sugarcubes Family

This family pick is pretty cool, to me. The Sugarcubes were an interesting band. Sure they had some poppy hits and everyone knows Bjork and her quirky public self. But look beyond that and find some real artists. They came from punk anarchy. Friends with Crass. Were in some crazy completely non pop bands (see tracks 16-20). But they also were in some groups individually and in pairs that did cocktail lounge music. Bogomil was their drummer using an alias. Reptile was Magga (the "other" cuter girl in the Sugarcubes - she was also very nice in person) and her post Sugarcubes band. Einar was the lead singer for Purrkir Pillnik before the the Sugarcubes and then with Bjork in K.U.K.L. also pre-Cubes. He also did stuff with Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson aka HÖH.  HÖH did stuff with Dave Ball of Soft Cell as Ornamental (not included, sorry) and with drummer Sigtryggur was in Þeyr (They're). Siggi, Einar and Hilmar were also Grindverk which they billed as dance music made for non-dancers. Einar later went into politics. Bjork is really the only one who became a worldwide pop icon. Don't hold it against her.
