We've got a million selling 90s hit (admittedly just the one), two Festive 50 number 1s, hectares of indiepop history, a Peel Session on vinyl and we're available for all festivals/events and shindigs. Get in touch! We might even bring Hacker T Dog with us.

@chris_hawkins Also, @thecubanboys had The Manual with us when we made Cognoscenti Vs Intelligentsia, but didn't follow it religiously. Probably why we only got to number 4. We wanted to use it as a prop on Top Of The Pops but Chris Cowey wouldn't let us.

As home town heroes with multiple Peel Sessions (one on vinyl) and *two* Festive 50 number 1's we wonder how we can get involved with this?
Preston Pop Fest is coming back for 2025! @FerretPreston @newcontinental @BlitzPreston @_Nightingales @marcrileydj @FurYummy

The Cuban Boys live into '25 - electronica that's not just button-prodding and chin-stroking but a cabaret of carnage with a blitz of videos, guests and music biz stories. Follow @thecubanboys

25 years ago to the day, readers. We spent the week getting hammered in London doing press and filming an episode of Top of the Pops that was never shown.
