CUD — live event
CUD 'Celebrating 40 Years Of Vintage Indie Rock' Friday 4th September Doors 7.30pm Tickets are £12.50 (+ b/f) in advance and available from See Tickets. *This is a standing show* Leeds art students form band, create cult indie-pop and funk sensation, tour with the Pixies and session with John Peel. Emerging from the same art/design cauldron that produced fellow Leeds legends Soft Cell, Scritti Politti, and The Mekons, they were the pre-Britpop answer to sad-eyed shoegaze; bursting with originality, humour and a fuck-you-we’re-from-Leeds attitude. What’s not to like? Initially lauded for that quirky 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 unstraight 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 coverage, massive sellout gigs and proper Top 30 hits, ‘Rich and Strange’ and ‘Purple Love Balloon’. Misunderstood…
