"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 the quixotic mien of their quest to enlighten the masses and bring peace to the world with their music.
By some critics they were written off as a survivalist cult; by others they were dismissed as talentless goofballs; still others suspected them of being a terrorist cell. They were branded blasphemous, condemned by the godfearing men of all races, colors, and religions, talked down to in temples, beaten in bars, bested on basketball courts.
Ten years in, no one can even say whether the Cubby Creatures, the band, even exists anymore.
It seems they've just never broken through, never been really rightly heard except for by a very few.
But through their music, the affable but misunderstood instrument of their creative collaboration, the Cubby Creatures attempt to communicate with their self-made deity, and the mere attempt to do so fulfills them and makes them happy.
And so they linger, maybe not soldiering on all the time but ever smoldering, never quite altogether extinguishing themselves but not doing much to distinguish themselves nor trying necessarily to do anything in particular.
