SummersRadio™ Classic! Cub!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Cub - 'New York City' Vancouver's Cub released their second album in 1995 called 'Come Out Come Out'. It included two covers - one of John Lennon & Yoko Ono's 'I'm Your Angel' and also the Go-Go's 'Vacation' - as well as a hidden dance track - a seven minute remix of their first hit 'Go Fish'.

Their third album 'Box Of Hair' followed in 1996 and by the time 1997's Australian compilation of singles and rarities called 'Mauler' came out, they had disbanded. If you'd like to learn more about what singer Lisa Marr has been up to you can check out her website here: http://www.lisamarr.org/

'New York City' was covered by They Might Be Giants in 1996 on their 'Factory Showroom' album - but this is the original... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Cub - 'Go Fish' One thing leads to another... After posting Solar Bears remix of their song 'Cub' yesterday I got to thinking about my all time favorite Vancouver band - Cub! They were a female indie pop trio that released their first single in 1992 - a six song EP called 'Pep'. I worked at Coast 1040 back then, which was Vancouver's first modern rock station. This was before mp3's of course, so we played about 80% cd's and 20% records - of songs available only on vinyl. (there were also a few songs on DAT tapes!) Out of everything we played Cub's 'Pep' EP was the only piece of 7" vinyl! (the only format that 'Pep' came out on - although these songs later appeared on their 1993 debut full length 'Betti-Cola' - which featured Neko Case drumming on a few tracks, and artwork by Dan De Carlo of Archie Comics fame!) Cub's sound was dubbed by some as 'cuddlecore' - both innocent and fun... Enjoy!
