The genius that is Spray

What can I say about Spray except - wow. When I first popped in their demo (thanks Todd!) I was blown away by the production, the melodies, the singing. It sounded like, well, like a pop record - in the best sense of the word.

So then, this is Spray week, with a very special surprise for Friday (hint - demo!)

First up are selections from Living in Neon - the band's debut album. For the full Spray story we head over to Spray Central:

In 1999, Ric and Jenny took a whirlwind rollercoaster ride from making home demos on a 4-track to hanging out with Steps and S Club 7 at the Xmas Top Of The Pops studio. This was as part of the top 5 million-selling hit success of 'The Hamsterdance Song' by the Cuban Boys, written and initially produced in a fit of boredom in Spray Studio that February. In 2000, however, the rollercoaster stalled a bit, and despite trying out conventional rock things like "gigging" and "making an album" the Cuban Boys vanished from the pop radar fairly rapidly and ironically. (nb: check out www.cubanboys.info for the revamped and revitalised Cubans)
