Today we're taking a trip back through the archives to celebrate the wonderful news that CUD are reforming and rehearsing for a small tour which begins next month, details are all here CUD TOUR DATES .
It's also the twentieth anniversary of Rich and Strange being released too - with this in mind I've included the YouTube link for those of us who want to be reminded just how awesome they are, and for those of you who have never heard how awesome they were. Also included is the link to one of their other brilliant tracks, Slack Time.
What set CUD apart from many other bands was that they were difficult to pigeonhole. Not traditional Indie, nor rock, but very funky and stylish - they combined brilliant guitar hooks with surely one of the greatest voices ever heard, that of their lead singer Carl Puttnam. I always maintained he was the indie Tom Jones - still do. His voice has lost none of its power or appeal in the time the band have been apart.
Go see them live. Do it.
