Cub SO fucking rocks us.

ipodicon.gifThis one goes out to all the New York readers that saw the blurb in the Times (if it’s there). When I started doing 2strokebuzz, Vancouver’s Cub was the first band I interviewed (in Issue 1). They were one of the greatest bands of all time: they, more than the Sex Pistols or Ramones, proved you could start a band with nothing but good intentions and make great music. Sadly, they broke up a while back, but I still listen to them almost every day. There’s a typically Lo-Fi video for their song “New York City” on the Mint Records web page, later to be covered by They Might Be Giants. Robyn, Lisa G, and all of your drummers, I miss your smiles! DeVries and I have been talking about a men-in-drag Cub cover band (the Pillow Queens?), but we need (of course) a drummer.
