Cuban Boys

Among the initial acts to make use of the energy of the web, Cuban Kids were a KLF-style anarchic creation team who also briefly found popularity in the later ’90s using their quirky cut-and-paste sample-based dance-pop. Produced in Torquay in 1998, the private quartet of Ricardo Autobahn, sister Jenny McLaren, Skreen B, and B.L. Underwood — who hardly ever revealed their true names — initial came to interest when among its monitors, “Diophantus Arithmetica,” was rumored to have already been documented by Oasis’ Noel Gallagher. After their debut one, the South Park-sampling “Oh My God! They Killed Kenny,” made an appearance on important Radio 1 DJ John Peel’s Festive Fifty countdown, they released a self-funded EP, Blueprint for Modernisation, whose monitor “Cuban Boy” afterwards became the theme melody to Scottish sitcom Still Video game. By the end of 1999, they truly became an unlikely graph achievement when their one “Cognoscenti vs Intelligentsia,” predicated on among the initial Internet memes, Hampster Dance, which itself was predicated on Roger Miller’s “Whistle End,” reached number 4. However, after having to remove all of the unauthorized examples on the recordings, their debut record, Eastwood, flopped, as well as the music group was fell by its label, leading to the group launching a bitter cover edition from the Sex Pistols’ “EMI.” Since that time, Cuban Boys have got focused on issuing materials through their very own official website, like the 2004 John Peel off tribute melody “THE COUNTRY Requirements You,” the 2008 record The Satellite television Junkyard, as well as the 2010 compilation Artwork vs Business. Autobahn and McLaren also became a member of pushes to record two albums beneath the guise of Squirt, while Autobahn created Glen Campbell’s 2002 Best 20 “Rhinestone Cowboy” remix and Daz Sampson’s 2006 U.K. Eurovision Melody Contest entrance, “Teenage Lifestyle.”
