The Cuban Boys are proud to announce the inclusion of 'Oh My God! They Killed Kenny' in the forthcoming 4 CD box set Kats Karavan - The History Of John Peel On The Radio which pays tribute to the fantastic late, great John Peel.

A beautifully packaged career wide retrospective, it captures the essence of John’s shows and his eclectic musical taste. It contains unreleased Peel Sessions, Peel favourites and obscure 7”s.

The artwork features a 64 page booklet with rare and unseen photos, extensive sleeve notes and exclusive interviews with some of the biggest and some of the smallest artists that appeared on his show.

The band have just uploaded a marvellous new video for Sorry! from The Satellite Junkyard album.

It is worth mentioning that the Cuban Boys' own Ricardo Autobahn is responsible for the wonderful 'The Golden Age Of Video' track/video which has become a bit of an internet phenomonen

The Cuban Boys are sending out promos of their new single 'I'm Backing Britain' which is due for release mid-August.

Huw Stephens played the Cuban Boys remix of 'Two Of The Beatles Have Died' on his BBC Radio One show.

At the beginning of the year, the Cuban Boys were invited to contribute a track to a slightly off-the-wall project called TWO OF THE BEATLES HAVE DIED, a compilation featuring 21 bands and artists performing specially commissioned covers, remixes and responses to the song 'Two Of The Beatles Have Died' by Olivia North.

The Cuban Boys have contibuted a remix which has been described as turning the original performers into "electro rock monsters".

The album will be released in May 2009 on Helen Llewelyn Product Nineteen Recordings in association with Brainlove Records with money raised going to the British Lung Foundation.

Happy New Year!

In the slipstream of the recent album, The Satellite Junkyard, the Cuban Boys have just finished recording a hot new single called ALL GIRLS HAVE A VOLVO. A track which will leave your mouth wide-open with its sheer naughtiness, it is classic Cuban Boys.

Rather excitingly, B.L.Underwood has returned to guest on the single, adding some of his customary guitar to provide a little extra turbo to the sound. The boys have completed some additional mixes and DJ Koroshi has also provided a floor-thumping remix.

Promos will be sent out in December / January - with a release date set for January 2009.

A new tune is currently being developed by the band in their swanky bunker. It is still a prototype but the boys have been seen driving around with beaming grins whilst tooting their horns. What can it all mean?

The Cuban Boys have just been approached by Ninthwave Records in the USA to include 'Swedish Rhapsody' from 'The Satellite Junkyard' on a forthcoming dance compilation. The band were unaware that the waltz was big on the dance scene again but they are right behind the idea.

OK, today is quite a poignant moment for the Cuban Boys as it marks the 10th Anniversary of the bands' first ever play by John Peel. It was also the first ever play of the Cuban Boys anywhere.

As the band explain "We sent John Peel a one-off cdr featuring 'Cuban Boy', our first ever recording, in the hope that he might like it. Just a few days later he was playing it to the nation on BBC Radio 1 and this started a wonderful friendship which lasted beyond our gatecrashing of the UK Charts. John was there right at the very beginning, and he was still there supporting us at the end. We still miss him every single day."

Those lovely people at Teletext's Planet Sound reviewed the new cd and gave it a pretty decent score.

Great news. John Kennedy, a long-term supporter of the Cuban Boys, has been playing some tracks from The Satellite Junkyard on his 'Up From The Underground' BFBS Show and will hopefully also be playing some on his Xfm Show.

We are glad to announce that THE SATELLITE JUNKYARD is now available on cd from the online store. The 45 minute recording features a glorious mix of old and new tunes within a mysteriously twisted conceptual framework.

Highlights include the John Peel Tribute track (The Nation Needs You), the re-vamped version of the Theme For Prim & Proper (Sorry!), the conundrum of a Festive 50 favourite (The Vinyl Countdown), and an updated version of the band's popular theme to the BBC TV Show, Still Game, (Cuban Boy).

Also there's room for the popular YouTube hit (Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man), sumptious French electro-pop (Claudine Is Blue), and the two bonkers singles (Spooky! and The Penthouse Messiahs).

In a happy coincidence, BBC2 are showing Series 2 of Still Game at the moment.

The Cuban Boys return on 3rd July with THE SATELLITE JUNKYARD - the band's first new full-length recording since they emerged from their dusty bunker at the turn of the Millennium.

Marking the 10th Anniversary of the band's formation, the release is promises 2700 seconds of audio oddity, featuring some old favourites along with nubile noodlings.
