Cuban Boys release tribute to Peel

The Cuban Boys are releasing 'The Nation Needs You', a tribute to John Peel that mixes techno with Status Quo and Peel's own voice.

The Cuban boys are to release a tribute song for John Peel, after he helped them in their musical career by unleashing the top ten novelty number 'Hamster Dance' onto the world. The band went on to record a number of Peel Sessions, the DJ being fan of their 'madcap' approach - they were later invited to the legend's 60th birthday party. The planned release, 'The Nation Needs You' is described as a track which "mixes techno beats with Status Quo - and the voice of Peelie himself - the exact thing you'd expect to find in the midst of a John Peel Radio Show!"
