Hull’s 6Music-supported psych-rock outfit, The Black Delta Movement, are sharing the video for their brazen new single, ‘Let The Rain Come’. Following in the wake of ‘Butterfly’, ‘Let The Rain Come’ will be released on 7” on July 27, arriving just ahead of the band’s debut album, Preservation which is due for release via Clubbed Thumb (distributed via Non Delux/Cargo) on August 3. Alongside news of the single, the band have announced details of a full UK headline tour, taking in a date at London’s Water Rats on October 12.

Recorded with producer, Mike Burnham (Fuzz Club Records, Holy Wave) at his Lovebuzz Studios, London, Preservation emerges as the segue between The Black Delta Movement’s early years, and where they are sonically propelling towards. Addressing the political Punch & Judy of social media, the new single finds that band at their most vigorous with frontman and primary songwriter, Matt Burr suggesting: "I never really get too political in songs because I think it’s boring, however ‘Let The Rain Come’ was more a jab at people who DO get political: ‘Vultures circling the road and they’re all just watching as we pick at the bones’”.

Over the years, the band have earned approval from the likes of Anton Newcombe (The Brian Jonestown Massacre), Alan McGee (Creation Records) and Barrie Cadogan (Little Barrie/The The/Primal Scream), alongside sell out UK/EU tours and previous slots with the likes of Drenge, The Jesus & Mary Chain and Temples. The band will support the release of Preservation with a full UK tour throughout September and October.

Currently celebrating a mind-blowing 20 years in the business with a new album and UK tour including performances at the British Summer Time Festival, the unstoppable, infectious force of nature The Cuban Brothers, are pleased to share the hilarious video to new single ‘I Hate Hate’, a joyous reworking of the Razzy Bailey classic.

A track that remains highly relevant in today’s political climate of divisions in the US under President Trump and a Britain divided over Brexit, never have the words ‘I Hate Hate’ been more significant or poignant, so the brothers decided it was time to bring a little love back into our lives with this soulful, funky number proving that love is most definitely alive.

When Mike Keat created Miguel Mantovani, the shameless, moustachioed impresario at the core of the Cuban Brothers, he had no idea that the character would become his career. Two decades on, Miguel and his suspect sidekicks are renowned the world over for their party-starting skills, risqué sketches, B-boy moves and funk-fuelled music.

From sold-out tours, festival spots and support slots for rock royalty to crazy cabaret club nights, film roles and fashion shows, The Cuban Brothers’ unparalleled act is now ingrained in pop culture. Everywhere from the Far East to South America, from Brisbane to Bahrain, from the Gumball rally to the F1 circuit has fallen for the Hawaiian shirts-sporting crew and their outrageous, X-rated antics.
