Listen "Episode 53 - Einar Orn from The Sugarcubes"
Episode Synopsis
“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.
This week, we’re excited to talk with Einar Orn – straight from Reyjavik, Iceland. He is sometimes called Iceland’s first punk and started several punk groups, including Purrkur Pillnikk, before eventually forming the Sugarcubes in 1986 with Einar sharing vocals with Bjork. Today, he tells me how he got turned on to punk music in the first place and how that kick started his musical journey.
Einar's web site is here, where you can see (and buy!) some of his art and see upcoming exhibtions and gigs.
Musical credits:
"Levin and Harper" from Blue Dot Sessions
"She Is Beyond Good & Evil," The Pop Group
