I spent a large part of my student grant following them around the UK leg of this particular tour and it was money well spent in my opinion. It was following the release of their sublime first album, 'Life's Too Good'. I think that along with Depeche Mode, New Order, St Etienne and possibly Portishead no other band has changed my life in such a big way as the Sugarcubes. To me they were the Captain Beefheart for my generation. They weren't just off the wall, they were away from the floor and off to some place too surreal to describe and they opened my eyes and ears for the first time to Scandinavian music and it's been a passion of mine ever since.
