Cuban Boys
@thecubanboys
Two number 1s on the Festive 50, Peel favourites and million selling chart superstars battling Cliff for the Xmas number 1 in 1999. See for more deets (details).
As well as the Praxis Makes Perfect "Factory Records Artwork" video we've also made one with the actual clips of Tony. Sleeves: youtu.be/g1A-aGf-31w?... Clips: youtu.be/-FObHigtuFA?...

In 1998 we got in Holly's Demo Hell. She said we were bound for Top Of The Pops, and we should stop trying to be clever.
10 years ago we recorded an album called Machines. We made this pretentious clip to promote it but in the end it never came out properly. It's on streaming, if you fancy a bit of industrial steampunk oddness. open.spotify.com/album/4tv6dx...
In 1999 John Peel played his daughter's alarm clock on the radio and challenged us to sample it. One week later it was on Radio 1. In 2026 it's being played live for the first time. What a journey! linktr.ee/thecubanboys
The Cuban Boys kicking it live again, with Flossie's Alarming Clock and The Vinyl Countdown for those nostalgic for the millennium. For those with disposable income too, we are available for bookings. Peel Session vinyl 10" EP available as well! cubanboys.bandcamp.com/album/pre-03...
Are you in Leeds tomorrow? We're kicking off 2026 at Wharf Chambers with @beatcanceruk.bsky.social - here's what you can expect..
Here are the lads re-recording Inertia Kicks somewhere south of the river in January 2000, after the Gibson Bros refused us the use of their 'Cuba' sample. Jenny took the picture.
Pictured here at the turn of the Millennium, but heard here right from this very week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Az...
Featuring the Voice Of Tony Wilson, here's our new single Praxis Makes Perfect. youtu.be/g1A-aGf-31w?...
