- <p> "It was the silliest name we could think of," says a member
- of the Sugarcubes about the founding of their new wave group.
- Iceland's best-known punk rockers, they banded together in 1986
- and hit British charts with their first single. Now the sweeties
- are on a 23-city North American tour, where they represent their
- country "just by being us." Audiences are tongue-tangled from
- cheering Magga Ornolfsdottir, Thor Eldon, Bragi Olafsson, Bjork
- Gudmundsdottir, Siggi Baldursson and Einar Orn. With that
- roster, it may be easier to say Sykurmolarnir--Icelandic for
- sugar cubes.
