Siggi Baldursson
(Drummer/founder member of Kukl and The Sugarcubes. The man behind the mambo spoof ’Bogomil Font & The Millionaires’ album. Currently playing percussion in Bjork’s band.) Björk was a refugee from the post-punk revolution in Iceland. She was 15 but always looked much younger. She must have a time machine built in somewhere... Towards the end of The Sugarcubes she would often disappear - like in Berlin, she’d be alone in some crazy Turkish bar full of Turkish men, fooling around on her own. But she was always very cool : she was never afraid of getting drugged or mugged or raped, to the point of making you feel uneasy, but she somehow got away with it. No, she’s not much of a herd animal... In three words : sneaky fucking bitch !
