Cud came from Leeds in the late 1980s, becoming one of the most distinct artists on the UK indie scene. The band, led by vocalist Carl Puttnam, incorporated funky basslines, crisp guitar riffs, and humorous lyrics. Their early albums, When in Rome, Kill Me (1989), and Leggy Mambo (1990), established them as imaginative outsiders who were not afraid to experiment with genres.
The band's breakthrough came in 1992 with the album Asquarius, which reached No. 30 on the UK Albums Chart. MTV airing helped to promote the success of singles like "Rich and Strange" and "Purple Love Balloon". Cud toured extensively in the early 1990s, developing a reputation for spectacular live performances and a devoted fan following.
After rejoining in the 2000s, Cud has delighted long-time admirers with reunion shows and festival appearances across the United Kingdom. Their shows include both oldies and deep tracks, keeping the intensity up and the nostalgia strong. Get your Cud tickets on Yadara today to experience their quirky, genre-bending attitude firsthand.
