about

Forming in October 2009 through Access To Music, We Can't Dance exploded on to the Norwich scene with a bang. Following a stage invasion at the first gig and a large number of cd's vanishing within seconds, the band then started 2010 with a gig at the Norwich Arts Centre which ended in similar fashion. Harry Dawson (vocals, guitar) - left 2011 Josie Steward (vocals, guitar) Tom Joy (vocals, bass) Dom Taylor (drums) In 2012 they changed their name to Cubs.

why this is interesting

# We Can't Dance This Norwich-formed group merits attention as a snapshot of early 2010s UK indie vitality. Operating within the post-punk revival moment, they demonstrated compositional ambition across multiple vocal perspectives—a democratic approach that distinguishes them from typical guitar-band hierarchies. Their rapid local momentum and the fervent audience response at early shows suggest music that created genuine community friction, not mere polite interest. The fact that members later reconstituted as Cubs indicates artistic evolution rather than dissolution, implying their foundational work contains ideas worth tracing through subsequent developments. Their brief existence captures something specific about regional music-making before algorithmic distribution fundamentally altered how underground bands develop.
