Cubby Control Records
Cubby Control Records (CCR) is a record label located in San Francisco, CA. CCR founder and sole proprietor Brian Weaver has been
self-releasing music in San Francisco since 1997, first as Poopdeck Pappy, then via the
Embryo
Compilations, and subsequently as a member of the bands
Coolidge,
The Cubby
Creatures (who also collaborated with the legendary San Francisco record label
Rodent Records),
and most recently with
REPTIEL and
The Cubby Preachers. CCR was formed to bring all
this music and any future releases under one umbrella.
Cubby Control Records is an offshoot of
The Cubby, a collective of folks who have since 1997 created art in the
name of a mythical entity they imagined called The Cubby. The Cubby collective and its band The Cubby Creatures were a staple of the
subterranean San Francisco art and music scene for a decade, during which time they launched a zine (
The
Cubby Missalette), a web site (
cubby.net) and a cable access series (
Cubbyvision).
In 2011, founding Cubby member Brian Weaver launched Cubby Control Records. The label has since then unleashed a steady stream of psychedelia
into SF’s subcultural bloodstream. In addition to housing the
Cubby Creatures' catalog, as well as those
of Cubby friends
REPTIEL, the label is also home to
The Druggles,
blāācmäjik,
Gnom i Snegovik, and Cubby Creatures progenitor
Coolidge,
plus Mr. Weaver's eclectic series of
Embryo Compilations, which has featured nascent musical
projects since 1997.
In the upper right cubby of these Web pages is beloved cat and Cubby Control inhabitant Trouble (2001-2013), and in the lower left cubby is
longtime Cubby Control inhabitant the
Black Virgin (a.k.a. Nuestra Señora de la
Santa Muerte). Both are significant figures and muses in the Cubby universe. Learn more about Cubby Control Records in the Interviews, Podcasts,
