Cub Artist Bio

There are at least two artists under the Cub alias:

1. Cub was an indie pop band which formed in 1992 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band originally consisted of Lisa Marr (vocals, bass), Robynn Iwata (guitar) and Valeria Fellini (drums). Fellini was replaced by Lisa G. (drums, vocals) in 1994. Neko Case played drums on the band’s first recordings, but left soon afterwards.

The band released three albums, “Betti-Cola” (1993), “Come Out, Come Out” (1994), and “Box of Hair” (1996). Notably, “Betti-Cola”‘s album cover was designed by Dan DeCarlo, longtime artist for Archie Comics. Their song “Nicolas Bragg” was in homage to their fellow Vancouver-ian and guitarist for Destroyer.

The band’s song “New York City” was covered by They Might Be Giants on TMBG’s 1996 album “Factory Showroom”. After the band split in 1997, Iwata formed I Am Spoonbender, and Marr and Lisa G. formed Buck. Case formed Maow after she left the band, and later joined The New Pornographers and began a successful solo career.

Lisa Marr’s former web site at lisamarr.org is no longer hers, and the URL now belongs to an Australian real estate agent. Cub’s original drummer Valeria Fellini passed away Sept. 26, 2023, after suffering from Parkinson’s.

2. CUB also refers to an alias of techno producer, Karl O’Connor (better known as Regis). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
