Cud

Cud biography

2006

Cud reformed to support the release of a double album of their greatest hits entitled ''Rich and Strange - The Anthology'' which was released in August 2006 on Universal Records, alongside a brief UK tour to promote it. Dunphy was replaced by Felix Frey on guitar for the tour.

2008

The same line-up again reformed for a short tour early in 2008 to support the expanded re-releases of ''Elvis Belt'' (now a double album entitled ''Elvis Belt/Elvis Handbag''), ''Leggy Mambo'' and ''Showbiz''. At Cud's gig at the Barfly in Liverpool on 6 March 2008 Puttnam suggested, contrary to suggestions on Cud's homepage, that the latest tour would be Cud's last. On 27 April 2008, Cud announced that their final ever gig (entitled "No more Cud!") would take place in Rios Leeds on 3 May 2008. To commemorate the event, a limited-edition CD single was sold, which was supposed to feature a new recording of "Punishment-Reward Relationship", along with live versions of "Now!", "Only", "Living in the Past" and "Strange Kind of Love". This was distributed as a blank printed CDR with the tracks to follow shortly afterwards. To date the songs have not been forthcoming.

2010

Cud reformed again (with Puttnam, Goodwin, Potter & Frey once again) for two gigs (during March, 2010, held at the Hootananny Club in Brixton, London.

2012

In February 2012 BBC 6 Music announced that CUD would be performing eight gigs in June on a UK-only tour. This tour is their first since 2010, and the first to feature original guitarist Mike Dunphy in almost 17 years. However, original drummer Steve Goodwin will be not be joining the line up for the tour.
