SUMMARY:CUD
LOCATION:Dingwalls
DESCRIPTION:Emerging from the same art/design cauldron that produced fellow
  Leeds legends Soft Cell\, Scritti Politti\, and The Mekons\, CUD were the
  pre-Britpop answer to doleful shoegazing bands – fun-loving\, light-hea
 rted\, romantic and downright catchy.\n\nAlternatively loved or loathed li
 ke a yeast extract\, CUD are indie rock for the unpretentious pleasure see
 ker\, boasting as they do the rich deep-lunged voice of Carl Puttnam\, edg
 y guitars of Mike Dunphy and tight\, funky rhythm section of William Potte
 r\, bass and Gogs Byrn\, drums.\n\nCUD were initially lauded for their qui
 rky Peel session cover of ‘You Sexy Thing’ in 1987. They soon built up
  a huge live following and buffed up their repertoire with a string of uns
 traight pop beauties\, best exemplified by the 1990 album ‘Leggy Mambo
 ’. This led to a major-label deal with A&M in 1991\, front-page NME cove
 rage\, massive sellout gigs and proper Top 30 hits\, ‘Rich and Strange
 ’ and ‘Purple Love Balloon’.\n\nMisunderstood by record companies an
 d press\, CUD packed away their guitars and sticks in 1995 but\, bolstered
  by a greatest hits anthology (‘Rich and Strange’) in 2006\, they agre
 ed to tread the boards again\, with a further reunion following in 2012 (n
 ow with original guitarist and key songwriter Mike Dunphy) and continue to
  find an army of ‘Space CUDets’ still eager to sing along\, dance like
  fruitcakes and invade their stage.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/g5xg
