The Cuban Boys are a group variously described as a 'pop act' (Discogs) and ' production team' (Wikipedia). They rely on fast electronic beats and heavy sampling. Their musical career has not followed a conventional path, with many of their tracks being made available as free mp3 downloads and the majority of it unavailable commercially. Skreen B and Ricardo Autobahn (as John suggested, not the name he was born with) were signed to EMI, but it was a short and unhappy relationship. The poor sales of their debut LP, Eastwood, can be laid squarely at the company's door, since they spent little on marketing it and replaced unauthorised samples with obvious imitations, presumably without the band's consent.

  • The Cuban Boys are a group variously described as a 'pop act' (Discogs) and ' production team' (Wikipedia). They rely on fast electronic beats and heavy sampling. Their musical career has not followed a conventional path, with many of their tracks being made available as free mp3 downloads and the majority of it unavailable commercially. Skreen B and Ricardo Autobahn (as John suggested, not the name he was born with) were signed to EMI, but it was a short and unhappy relationship. The poor sales of their debut LP, Eastwood, can be laid squarely at the company's door, since they spent little on marketing it and replaced unauthorised samples with obvious imitations, presumably without the band's consent. As a result of this, the band recorded a version of the Sex Pistols's EMI and virtually ceased all activity under the Cuban Boys name, although they reformed for The Nation Needs You, and have released two LPs on their own label, House Of Beauty (one a compilation). Pete Townshend featured two of their songs during his John Peel lecture of 2011. The band had reformed under the name of Beatbox Saboteurs since 2002.
