But it's just for a day, and you have to fly to Reykjavik to see them.
In a message posted to Bjork's Web site, Iceland's best-known band said they are reuniting for a one-off show to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut single, "Birthday." The concert will take place November 17, with Icelandair offering travel packages that will include airfare and a concert ticket.
Proceeds from the show will go to the band's Smekkleysa SM label, which "will continue to work on a non-profit basis for the future betterment of Icelandic music and artists," Bjork said in a statement.
The Sugarcubes formed out of the detritus of several Icelandic bands in the mid-1980s, with their 1988 debut, Life's Too Good, winning them international attention behind the singles "Regina" and "Motorcrash." The band released two more albums and a remix collection before breaking up in 1993, when Bjork embarked on a solo career.
