Ep. #1057: cub

Lisa G and Lisa Marr from cub are here to discuss the 30th anniversary vinyl edition of Come Out Come Out, the significant year in culture that was 1995, being pegged as “cuddlecore” in a time where labels and preconceptions were being shaken off on the regular, not identifying as men in a predominantly male underground music community and how some fans treated cub, vinyl records and the pros and cons of the internet, when Nardwuar asked Lisa Marr to join his band the Evaporators so she learned how to play the bass in five days by playing along to Ramones songs and also what it was like for her to meet Joey Ramone, learning how to be a performer in public, why cub broke up, what this reissue might mean for future cub activity, what’s next for each of the Lisas, and much more!
