"In order to understand the music of the Cubby Creatures, you need to first understand their worldview. The boys and girl who make up the group subscribe to a fundamental life principle called the 'cubby,' which is central to their philosophy of 'revolution through inspired living.' Their mission is to disseminate this philosophy through music and produce 'cubby awareness' in all those who listen."--epitonic.com
In 1997 the Cubby Creatures first came together and identified the Cubby--a life force of sorts. While the discovery was not unique--it has been known to many different people by many different names over the course of human history--the Cubby Creatures were unique in identifying and adoring it as "the Cubby."
From the beginning, few people understood the Cubby Creatures. The Cubby Creatures and their handful of ragamuffin followers were ridiculed for their quixotic quest to enlighten the masses and bring peace to the world.
But through their music, the affable but misunderstood instrument of their creative collaboration, the Cubby Creatures attempt to achieve blissful harmony with their self-made deity, and if you listen just right you're liable to experience it for yourself.
The History
The Cubby Creatures sprang from the ripe loins of San Francisco's Mission District in 1997, becoming the musical arm of an art cult called The Cubby dedicated to an abstract higher power also called the Cubby. As if this weren't confusing enough, they also use "cubby" as an adjective... as in "that's SO cubby."
Jol (guitar, vocals) and Brian (bass, vocals) formed the group with Emily (violin), Matt (drums) and then, on a whim, Karl (clarinet). Matt left after the band's first live show, at San Francisco's Artists' Television Access, and was replaced by Jason. Bill (keyboards, guitars, vocals) joined the cast of the Cubby Creatures' 1998 rock opera The World of Tina and shortly thereafter properly joined the band. In 2001 Jol moved to New York and Karl started publishing novels, so the other four went on alone, and the band released its magnum opus to date, After the Deprogramming, in 2005.
Cubby Creatures recordings are available at many fine retail outlets, including rodentrecords.com, aquarius records, amoeba records, the itunes music store, et al.

We are finally ready to start promoting my 'I Surrender' single with my album, 'Ella Trip' coming right after -yey!! What d'ya think to the video teaser?
Thanks, very much like your music as well. You know what's funny: I am from southern Kentucky (no quips please :) ) my friends and I used the word 'chubby' to describe a finely tuned female, it wasn't as sexist as it sounds. Just covert, being the shy ones we were... Anyway, we just formed not too long ago and going through the usual tidbits of getting out in the world. Do you guys mind keeping conversations open about gigs and bills and all that stuff? We are at the point where we are trying to find bands we like and have similar interests for the forge ahead. Either way, my views of your music and your ways of the world stay the same...
